For the First time after the Operation Sindoor, all three defence forces will get together to take part in the drone and counter-drone warfare drill codenamed Exercise Cold Start starting tomorrow.

The exercise will be held at military locations in Babina and Mhow in Central India and is being seen as an attempt to integrate the capabilities of the three forces in the domain, defence officials said here.

The drone and counter-drone drills involving the three forces are being carried out by the Integrated Defence Staff and will be witnessed by the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Anil Chauhan, on one of the four days of the exercise, they said.

India carried out Operation Sindoor to target terror bases inside Pakistan, after which the Army there tried to hit Indian civilian and military targets both.

The entire conflict saw both sides using drones to target each other. While the Indian drones, including both indigenous and imported ones, managed to cause heavy damage to Pakistani military and terrorist bases, Pakistani attempts to use Turkish and Chinese drones were thwarted successfully.

Following operations, the Indian forces are preparing for future conflicts, where they can tackle all threats in an integrated manner.

Indian forces are also in the process of implementing the lessons learnt during Operation Sindoor in drone warfare. (ANI)
