New Delhi: Diplomatic conversations of India-China can now be taking a slightly “positive” trajectory, but the armed forces continue to perfect their Great altitude combat skills Through intensive exercises, while the Army is raising a new infantry division of around 15,000 soldiers as part of its continuous Rejig of Fire Forces and Power for the borders of the North.
‘Prachand Prahar (fierce attack)’ is the revealing name of the latest integrated TRI-SERVICE MULTIDOMINIO WAR Exercise performed ‘deep’ on the ground at Great altitude of Arunachal Pradesh in the eastern sector of the real control of 3,488 km of real control (LAC) in the last three days.
“The exercise involved the army, IAF and the other combat elements in a synergized combat drill designed to simulate a future war. It reinforces India’s resolution to deter and, if necessary, decisively respond to any emerging security challenge along its strategic borders,” said a superior officer.
Towards the western sector of the LAC, which extends from eastern Ladakh to Arunacal Pradesh, the headquarters of the new 72 Infantry Division He approaches Pathankot under the north command based in Udhampur. “There will not be a new accumulation of troops for division 72. It is part of the army restructuring and reorganization plan that has been underway for some years,” a source told toi.
It is likely that the new division will eventually replace the “uniform force” of the Right Rifles (RR) of specialized counterinsurgency of the army that was taken east of Ladakh after the multiple incursions of the Chinese troops there in April 2020.
In addition to the 17 mountain attack body based in Panagarh for the eastern sector, Strike 1’s body based in Mathura (each body has 70,000-80,000 soldiers) was also “re-retired” to the LAC of its previous role in the western front with Pakistan, as Toi reported.
There are still no signs of de -escalation and induction of troops throughout the LAC after the disconnection in the two remaining confrontation sites in Depsang and Dechok in the east of Ladakh the last oct.
China has continued to strengthen its military positions and its accumulation of infrastructure throughout the LAC, and PLA troops continue to be deployed with heavy weapons systems in large quantities.
India has also maintained “mirror displays.” In Arunachal, areas such as Yangtse, where rival troops had faced in December 2022, Asaphila and the Subansiri River Valley remain the main points of inflammation.
During Prachand Prahar, long -range maritime recognition aircraft, armed helicopters, non -manned aerial vehicles (UAV), mastive ammunition and space assets to achieve a total situational consciousness and a rapid objective commitment.
“Once simulated objectives were identified, quickly neutralized through coordinated strikes using combat airplanes, long -range pinaka rocket systems, middle artillery guns, swarm drones, kamikaze drones and armed helicopters, all executed in an electronically disputed environment that simulated the modern conditions of the battlefield,” said another officer.
This integrated tri-service exercise is based on the impulse of the ‘Poorvi Prahar’ exercise last November, which focused mainly on the integrated application of aviation assets. “Prachand Prahaar has now taken that concept by validating a fully integrated approach for surveillance, command and control and power of precision fire in the three services,” he said.
