Exercise Bold Kurukshetra is a bilateral military exercise held annually between India and Singapore since 2005. The 14th edition in 2025 took place in Jodhpur, involving India’s Mechanised Infantry Regiment and Singapore’s 42 Armoured Regiment of the 4 Singapore Armoured Brigade. The exercise is designed to improve interoperability, validate operational procedures, and enhance joint training, particularly in the context of United Nations peacekeeping missions under Chapter VII. This long-standing engagement reflects the strong defence cooperation and strategic partnership between the two nations, aimed at building mutual capabilities for global peace and regional stability.
