Indian, British troops complete joint training
New Delhi, Sept 19 (PTI) India and Britain Friday ended their joint Army exercises in which tanks and armoured personnel carriers manoeuvres were simulated for hard, warlike training sessions in the United Kingdom.
The three-week long military exercises witnessed 126 men of all ranks from the Indian Army's 16 Mechanised Infantry Regiment testing their wits against the troops from the U.K.'s 3rd Mercian Regiment at the Salisbury Plains, according to an Indian Army spokesman here.
Beginning on August 29, the exercise was divided into two
modules named 'Exercise Lion Strike' and 'Exercise Wessex
Warrior' and the two modules were completed on Friday, he
said.
Indian Army chief General Deepak Kapoor was one of the
important guests who witnessed the exercise during his recent
visit to the U.K.
The interaction is also expected to increase
interoperability between the Armed Forces of the two countries
and is in tune with India's increasing role and influence on
the world stage, the spokesman added. PTI AJD
