As part of the ongoing joint military exercise Indra-2025, Indian and Russian troops conducted practical training sessions at the Mahajan training ground in the Indian state of Rajasthan, Russian Ministry of Defense said.
The exercises included tactical shooting drills and obstacle course training under high-temperature conditions typical for the region, the Russian MOD stated. These sessions aimed to strengthen coordination between the forces and improve combat readiness in challenging environments.
On the firing line, troops engaged in live-fire exercises, targeting dynamic threats simulating a notional enemy. The drills are focused on accuracy, coordination, and reaction under pressure.
Participants completed a challenging assault course featuring over ten obstacles, designed to test endurance, agility, and teamwork. Indian soldiers demonstrated advanced techniques for navigating the most difficult segments, offering valuable insights to their Russian counterparts, the MoD statement reads.
The joint training not only enhanced individual and unit-level skills but also facilitated a productive exchange of tactical experience between the two armed forces, the MoD said.
