The Indian Army’s Trishakti Corps conducted a live firing demonstration along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Sikkim, reinforcing combat readiness in high-altitude warfare. The exercise featured the Pinaka Multi-Barrel Rocket Launch System (MBRL), capable of firing 12 rockets in under 44 seconds with a range of 40-75 km. The drill tested coordination between infantry, mechanised units, and artillery, ensuring rapid response to threats. Despite border agreements with China, the Army remains vigilant along the Northern Borders, focusing on modernisation and indigenisation to maintain a robust defence posture in extreme conditions.
