India’s strategic readiness along its northeastern border will be on full display as the “Eastern Prahar” tri-service exercise takes place from November 10 to 18, 2024.

• This initiative aims to integrate the capabilities of the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, with a focus on joint operations in demanding mountainous terrains.
• The purpose of the exercise is to ensure that India’s armed forces remain operationally prepared for any eventualities in the eastern sector, a region that has been a focal point of border tensions, particularly with China.
• The exercise will be a platform for showcasing several sophisticated platforms and assets from all three services, including fighter and reconnaissance aircraft, strategic helicopters like the Chinook and Advanced Light Helicopter (Rudra), and M777 Ultra-Light Howitzer Artillery Systems.
