India conducts numerous joint military exercises every year with friendly nations to strengthen strategic ties, enhance interoperability, and share defense expertise. These exercises—across land, air, and sea—reflect India’s growing defence cooperation and readiness in a multi-domain security environment.
In 2025, India participated in several bilateral and multilateral exercises with countries including the USA, Australia, France, Japan, South Korea, and many others.
