Exercise ‘KAVACH 3

Using Jaguar transport and marine strike aircraft, the IAF demonstrated its firepower. The practice also included members of the Indian Coast Guard. In real-world war situations where the armed forces would have to stop or launch an offensive against the enemy troops, this exercise will allow them to undertake coordinated joint operations. Given the current state of the world and knowledge of India’s notorious neighbors on its western and northern borders, this exercise will significantly aid India’s two-front offensive.
