The Indian Army and Air Force's strategic forces conducted a multi-domain exercise in the Eastern Sector amidst the ongoing border tension in eastern Ladakh.

The exercise was carried out with the aim of testing joint plans for the strategic airlift of specialized forces, using the IAF's fixed and rotary wing platforms to land and drop them in designated areas. The exercise was conducted last week.

Additionally, the exercise showcased the speed, agility, and lethality of the specialised troops, highlighting their ability to rapidly deploy into a hostile environment.
