Indian and United Arab Emirates troops carried out joint mountain‑warfare drills in Uttarakhand, enhancing their high‑altitude combat capabilities.
Indian armed forces and their United Arab Emirates counterparts convened in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand for a series of mountain‑warfare exercises. The joint drills focused on manoeuvring, weapons handling and survival techniques suited to high‑altitude terrain.
The training aims to sharpen the troops' proficiency in operating under rugged, cold‑weather conditions, a skill set increasingly relevant for both nations given their strategic interests in mountainous regions.
Conducting such collaborative exercises underscores the deepening defence partnership between India and the UAE, reflecting mutual commitment to interoperability and shared security objectives.
