In a clear show of strength, the Indian Armed Forces have launched live-fire military exercises off the Gujarat coast, just miles from the Pakistan maritime boundary. The drills, involving warships, fighter aircraft, and precision missiles, are being seen as both a preparedness routine and a strong strategic message.
Why It Matters:
- Location is key — the drills are close to Pakistan’s naval zones, signaling alertness.
- Involves tri-services coordination, indicating a high-level operational readiness.
- Comes amid rising tensions and chatter of potential cross-border escalations.
Defense officials say the exercise is “pre-scheduled,” but the timing — and location — have raised eyebrows in Islamabad.
