The first India-Saudi Arabia joint military drill, called “SADA TANSEEQ,” started in Rajasthan on Monday. The goal of the exercise is to improve the ability of troops from both countries to work together and get along.
It is planned that the practice will last until February 10. “The 45 people from Saudi Arabia are being represented by the Royal Saudi Land Forces.” “A battalion from the Brigade of the Guards (Mechanized Infantry) is representing the Indian Army contingent, which also has 45 people,” the defense ministry said in a statement.
Article VII of the UN Charter says that the exercise’s goal is to prepare troops from both sides for actions that they can do together in mostly desert areas.
People on both sides will be able to “share their best practices in the tactics, techniques, and procedures of conducting operations in the sub-conventional domain.”
The drill will “help raise interoperability, goodwill, and camaraderie among troops from both sides,” the statement said.
Setting up a mobile car check point, a cordon and search operation, a house intervention drill, reflex shooting, slithering, and sniper firing are some of the things that will be done. It is expected that the practice will help the two groups get closer, according to officials.
The statement said, “It will serve as a platform to achieve shared security goals, raise the level of defense cooperation, and strengthen bilateral relations between the two friendly nations.”
