India Concludes Trishul With Amphibious Finale, Carrier Demo Off Saurashtra

Commanders called the two-week tri-service drill a benchmark for jointness, validating new ISR, EW, cyber procedures.

Overview

  • Top Army, Navy and Air Force commanders boarded INS Vikrant to review multi-domain operations, including carrier-borne flights and underway replenishment.
  • The Navy-led exercise spanned desert, creek and maritime sectors and ended with an amphibious landing under Amphex 2025 off Gujarat’s Saurashtra coast.
  • About 30,000 Army personnel, multiple fighter aircraft and nearly 25 naval ships and submarines participated, according to Western Naval Command.
  • Akhand Prahar in the desert sector validated the Konark Corps’ readiness and operationally validated the newly raised RUDRA integrated all-arms brigade.
  • Indigenous drones, unmanned and counter-drone systems and EW grids were field-tested; a sea-to-land tank platoon launch via LCM was reported, while a separate Army–IAF high-altitude drill in Arunachal runs through November 15.
