An India-Singapore joint military exercise, aimed at enhancing mutual defence cooperation and training capabilities, is set to unfold in Rajasthan's Jodhpur from July 27 to August 4, 2023. This 14th installment of Exercise Bold Kurukshetra will feature the 42 Singapore Armoured Regiment and India's Mechanised Infantry Regiment.

Structured as a tabletop exercise and computer-based wargame, the sessions are designed to validate mechanised warfare procedures, officials from the Indian Defence Ministry reported. The exercise culminates in a display of military equipment, highlighting the collaborative prowess of the two armies.

Adding to the event's symbolism, the 42 Singapore Armoured Regiment will ceremonially hand over their regimental flag to the Indian formation, signifying the temporary transfer of command. This year's engagements will notably strengthen the defence ties between the nations, promoting greater tactical and strategic collaboration under the United Nations mandate.
