Indian Army’s ‘Trishakti Corps’ conducted Integrated Exercise in High-Altitude areas of North Sikkim




The troops of Striking Lion-Division of Trishakti Corps has conducted integrated tactical exercise- ‘SINGHEE PRAHAAR’, at 17,500 feet in North Sikkim, showcasing prowess of Indian Army along integrated operations in Super High Altitude Areas.

Alongwith the infusion of technology and growing lethality and ranges of weapon platforms, the battlefield scenario has changed even in High Altitude Areas, as prevalent in North Sikkim.

The future battles are likely to be swift, intense and under extreme battlefield transparency and digitized environment, despite being fought in dizzy heights between 17,000 ft to 22,000 ft, at subzero temperatures and lack of oxygen.

Therefore, the exercise calls-for an integrated and synergized application of all elements of ground forces to include Infantry, Armour, Mechanised Infantry, Artillery, Aviation, Engineers and logistic support elements.
