The Indian Army successfully conducted the Yudh Kaushal 3.0 exercise in Arunachal Pradesh’s high-altitude terrain, demonstrating its preparedness for modern multi-domain warfare. The drill emphasised the integration of cutting-edge technologies, drone-based surveillance, precision strikes, and AI-enabled operational concepts. Specialised units like ASHNI platoons were deployed to showcase tactical agility and innovation. The exercise also highlighted India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative by incorporating domestically developed defence technologies. Alongside Yudh Kaushal 3.0, a parallel exercise named Achook Prahar was conducted to test inter-agency coordination with the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), reinforcing joint operational effectiveness in challenging border regions.
