India participated in 80 joint military exercises in 4 yrs - Brahmand.com



NEW DELHI (PTI): India has participated in 80 joint military exercises with friendly foreign countries in the last four years, Defence Minister A K Antony has said.

"24 joint exercises with foreign countries were carried out every year between 2008 to 2010. This year till the month of July eight such exercises have been conducted," Antony told the Lok Sabha on Monday in reply to a question.

The Defence Minister, however, maintained, "There are no such agreements entered into by the government (with participating nations) during such exercises."

Exercise specific coordination and administrative issues are mutually agreed upon by the participating units before the conduct of exercises, he said.

Replying to a query on request from other countries for providing counter-insurgency training to their military personnel, Antony said there is no such proposal to impart such training abroad.

"Amongst other training courses, Indian Army has provided counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism training to individual officers as well as groups from friendly foreign countries at the Counter Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School (CIJWS), at Vairangate in Mizoram," he said.

For the year 2011-12, a total of 17 countries including US, UK, Afghanistan, Israel, Sri Lanka and Myanmar have requested India for training their troops at CIJWS.

On the schedule of joint naval exercise between Indian and Russian Navy, Antony said future action plan will depend on mutual convenience of the two sides.

On whether government has postponed or cancelled joint naval exercise with Russia, Antony said, "Indian Navy had proposed and Russian Navy conveyed its readiness to conduct INDRA-11 off Vladivostok in February 2011. However, due to the situation arising from Tsunami and nuclear radiation disaster in Japan the exercise was postponed."

Indo-Russia combined exercises named 'INDRA' are conducted once every two years since 2003, the minister said.

"The Indian and Russian navies work out proposals for conduct of the INDRA exercise based on mutually convenient dates," he added.
 
No mention of any synergy being developed between IA/Iaf/IN with the counterparts of any other country ? No account of experiences gained ?
 
What's the friggin' use when they can't even thwart a bunch of tiny warmongers from killing our fishermen in our waters? All this bruhaa goes into only ceremonialism when no real actions are taken.

Hopefully better harnessing of the know-how from these wargames will be made in the future when a better government is elected.
 
Chances of full-scale war are very slim..but we need to train our special forces and Intelligence services incase we need to target terrorist leaders and camps(provided our govt has the balls to do so)..We need help from MOSSAD
 
Be it the BJP or the Congress.Decisions on National Security will always be the same.

Doesn't seem so no matter how much people remain in denial. NDA was not a total Israel in national security but they were much more sincere compared to this tin-pot corruption brigade.
 
Huge experiences and technical knowledge gained from these exercises with so many countries. It is extremely good.

I have seen many of your post and you keep on crying for better Government.
Where does the Government issue come here.
Best of Luck till 2014
