G20 Summit: IAF and Army Launch Major Combat Exercise Amidst China, Pakistan Tensions

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has initiated a significant combat training exercise, 'Trishul,' along the China-Pakistan borders in the northern and western sectors. This exercise, led by the Western Air Command (WAC), aims to assess overall combat readiness. It involves the deployment of various combat assets, including fighters like Rafales, Jaguars, MiG-29s, and Sukhoi-30MKIs, as well as transport aircraft and surface-to-air guided weapons, such as S-400s, MR-SAMS, and Akash. Simultaneously, the Indian Army's mountain strike corps (1 Corps and 17 Corps) is conducting high-altitude drills along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China. Despite ongoing tensions, no signs of de-escalation are apparent in eastern Ladakh, where both sides maintain a substantial military presence with heavy weaponry. The IAF will have a brief operational pause during the G20 summit in New Delhi on September 9 and 10, focusing on safeguarding airspace over the National Capital Region. #G20 #IAF #IndiaArmy #indianairforce #china #latestnews #g20summitindia #g20summit2023 #latestnews Subscribe to The Times of India's YouTube channel: http://goo.gl/WgIatu For daily news & updates and exclusive stories, follow the Times of India Facebook:   / timesofindia   Instagram:   / timesofindia   Download the app: http://toi.in/3SLUCa80 Follow TOI+ for well-researched and in-depth news and analysis Facebook:   / timesofindiaplus   Twitter:   / toiplus   Instagram:   / toi_plus
