A six-day long joint exercise of the Army and the Air Force will begin on Monday in the deserts of Bikaner and Suratgarh near Pakistan border.
‘Vijayee Bhava’, the 9th to 14th May inter-services exercise, will involve tank to tank wars, helicopter operations and others, Army officials said.
Personnel from both the services are practising for 15 days to successfully carry out the drill.
According to the Army, it has conducted 10 major exercises near the Pakistan border in the last six years and this exercise will boost synergy between the Indian defence forces.“Battlefield tactics for warfare are being practised in the exercise which also aims at fine-tuning the concept of Cold Start doctrine,” an official said.
