Saturday, 17 December 2022 | Pioneer News Service | New Delhi

India has held two joint exercises with Singapore and Nepal respectively in the last few days.  While the air force of the two countries took part in the Singapore drill, the Indian army is practicing drills in jungle warfare with Nepal.

After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the air forces of Singapore and India held their annual Joint Military Training (JMT) which aims at strengthening the professional bonds between them and allowing them to hone their operational skills.

The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) and the Indian Air Force (IAF) successfully completed the 11th edition of the JMT at the Kalaikunda Air Force Station in India from November 3 to December 14, according to a Singapore Defence Ministry press release.

The RSAF deployed 14 F-16C/D fighter aircraft to train alongside the IAF's SU-30MKI, Jaguar, LCA Tejas, and MiG-29 fighter aircraft, according to the press release issued during the training.

Since its inception in 2008, the JMT has been conducted under the ambit of the Air Force Bilateral Agreement, which was signed in 2007.

 The Singapore and Indian armies have also held the 12th Edition of Exercise Agni Warrior, a bilateral exercise that commenced on 13 November 2022 and was concluded at Field Firing Ranges, Devlali (Maharashtra) on November 30.

India and Nepal on Friday began the 16th edition of the joint military training exercise to share theoretical and practical experiences in jungle warfare related to counter-terrorism military skills as well as disaster management.

A team from the Indian Army arrived in Nepal on Wednesday to participate in the "Surya Kiran" military training exercises taking place at Saljhandi in the Rupandehi district of Lumbini Zone near the Nepal-India border.  The 'Surya Kiran' exercise is conducted annually in Nepal and India. The 15th edition of the joint exercise was held in Pithoragarh, India.
