India, US armies hold exercises close to China border

NEW DELHI, 30 November 2022, (TON): Indian and US troops participated in a high-altitude training exercise in a cold, mountainous terrain near India's disputed border with China, at a time both countries are trying to manage rising tensions with Beijing.

During the exercise, Indian soldiers were dropped from helicopters to flush out gunmen from a house in a demonstration of unarmed combat skills.

Other drills involved sniffer dogs and unmanned bomb-disposing vehicles, and trained kites were deployed to destroy small enemy drones.

Brig said "overall, it has been a great learning experience. There has been sharing of best practices between both the armies.”
