The two-week exercise, which began on October 30, seeks to test the military's operational readiness and boost synergy among the three services and other organisations. It involves tens of thousands of soldiers, fighter jets, warships, submarines, tanks, artillery guns and other weapons and systems.

Different elements of the overarching exercise are unfolding in a series of drills being conducted across Rajasthan, Gujarat and the Arabian Sea, the officials said, asking not to be named.
