The Southern Command of the Indian Army successfully conducted Exercise Akhand Prahaar across the Desert Sector, as part of Tri-Services Exercise Trishul.
Lt Gen Dhiraj Seth, PVSM, AVSM, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief Southern Command, reviewed the operational readiness of the Konark Corps during the exercise.
The exercise validated full-spectrum combat readiness of Konark Corps through integrated employment of all arms and services from mechanised and infantry manoeuvres to the execution of land operations by the Rudra Brigade, Special Heliborne Operations, and coordinated Attack Helicopter missions by Army Aviation.
The exercise also witnessed seamless synergy between Indian Army and Indian Air Force and involved Fighter Ground Attack missions in close support of the land forces.
The exercise also served as a real-time testbed for evaluating next-generation indigenous technologies under realistic battlefield conditions. Employment of indigenous drones, unmanned systems, counter-drone systems and Electronic Warfare grid, underscored India’s growing technological edge in line with the national vision of Atmanirbharta in Defence. The exercise reaffirmed the Konark Corps’ transformation into a modern, agile and networked force — future-ready for multi-domain, high-tempo operations.
