According to the Army, the exercise included firing from the M777 ultra-light howitzer, Dhanush gun, and Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launcher. L70 air defense guns and M-LIDS systems were also seen in action. A key objective of this joint training was to develop better firing planning, coordination, and synergy.

For this purpose, observation post detachments from both armies also trained together. Soldiers practiced target identification, target location, response procedures, and fire orders. The training also included repeated training to make necessary corrections after firing. This provided soldiers from both armies with an opportunity to gain practical experience with each other’s artillery techniques, communication procedures, and fire control systems.

The exercise integrated the entire process from target identification to firing using various weapon systems. This allowed soldiers from both countries to practice the full range of fire support on the battlefield. This joint training emphasized accuracy, quick reaction, and coordination. It also provided an opportunity to improve shared procedures and operational understanding between the two armies.

The exercise, held at the Mahajan Field Firing Range, reflects the practical training focus of Yudh Abhyas 2026. Indian and American soldiers shared their operational experiences and further strengthened their ability to operate together in complex combat situations. Earlier, trained military dogs from the Indian Army were also part of the ongoing joint military exercise “Yudh Abhyas 2026” between India and the United States. Four military dogs named Rice, Victor, Jack, and Rowdy demonstrated their ability to assist soldiers in special operations.

During the exercise, the dogs participated in exercises such as entering a suspected hideout and descending using a rope. This provided US soldiers with an opportunity to closely observe the training, agility, and ability of Indian Army military dogs to work with soldiers in difficult tactical situations. Two days earlier, the Indian and US armies had also demonstrated their artillery capabilities. Only M777 Ultra Light Howitzers were fired during the ongoing exercise in India.

Amid the attacks by the Indian Army, Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif will address the nation on Wednesday afternoon. He has also called an emergency National Security Committee (NSC) meeting at the Prime Minister’s residence to discuss the current security situation in the country and future action against India.

This important meeting will formulate policy and also consider the intervention of global powers, including the United States, who have called on both sides to exercise restraint and reduce the rapidly escalating tension between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.

In fact, after the attack on terrorist hideouts by India, all educational institutions in the capital Islamabad and Punjab province have also been closed and all security forces have been asked to be ready.

Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhary, Director General of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), said that at least 26 people have been killed and 46 others injured in the air strikes.

New Delhi said that the air strikes targeted terrorist camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Punjab province. India’s attacks and Islamabad’s retaliation have shocked the locals, who fear that this could lead to a full-fledged war between the two countries. These attacks were carried out in response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, in which four terrorists brutally killed 26 civilians.

The strikes by the Indian Army targeted six different locations in Pakistan, including Masjid Subhanallah in Ahmadpur Sharqia area of ​​Bahawalpur city, the alleged hideout of Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Maulana Masood Azhar.

They carry the dreams of 1.4 billion Indians.” He listed space achievements like successful Mars mission, Chandrayaan-1, Chandrayaan-2, Chandrayaan-3, cryogenic engine launch and satellite docking and termed them as ‘important scientific milestones’.

He also announced upcoming missions like this year’s Human Space Flight Mission ‘Gaganyaan’, ISRO-NASA joint mission to International Space Station, establishment of Indian Space Station by 2035 and Moon mission by 2040.

“Mars and Venus are also on our radar. Apart from exploration, the country’s space journey is also about empowerment,” PM Modi said.
