Indian Army Exercise: Amid the ongoing border tension with China, India has shown its strength to the Dragon by conducting war exercises near both the countries. The Indian Army conducted anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) training exercise at an altitude of 17,000 feet in Sikkim. This northeastern state shares its border with China and in the war exercise conducted at such a high altitude, the Tri Shakti Corps of the Army introduced its strength to the world.
The Indian Army has also released a video of the exercise, in which the army’s anti-tank missile weapon is facing China and spitting fireballs. Soldiers can be seen reaching the cold and snowy area in jeeps on bad roads. The soldiers were seen practicing in coordination to reach the enemy’s hideout and then target and kill them. The video of the exercise of the Tri Shakti Corps is 1.27 minutes long.
