The Indian Army is conducting a high-intensity tri-services exercise Poorvi Prahar from the 10th to the 18th of this month in the forward areas of Arunachal Pradesh. This joint exercise aims to hone the combat effectiveness of the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force in executing Integrated Joint Operations in the challenging mountainous terrain of the region.

All three services utilise advanced fighter aircraft, reconnaissance platforms, helicopters such as the Chinook and Advanced Light Helicopter (Rudra), along with M777 Ultra-Light Howitzers during the exercise. These state-of-the-art assets provide an unprecedented level of mobility, firepower, and precision in the region’s challenging topography.
