The Trishakti Corps of the Indian Army recently conducted a training exercise involving the firing of anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) at a super-high altitude area of 17,000 feet in Sikkim. The exercise, which took place on Thursday, saw participation from missile-firing detachments from mechanized and infantry units of the entire Eastern Command.
The training exercise focused on comprehensive continuity training and live firing from different platforms on both moving and static targets, simulating battlefield conditions. The ATGM detachments showcased their capability to neutralize armored threats with unmatched lethality, ensuring mission success even in treacherous mountainous terrain.
The successful performance of the ATGM system in high-altitude environments reaffirms the Indian Army’s commitment to the “Ek Missile Ek Tank” initiative, highlighting the accuracy and effectiveness of the ATGM system in super-high-altitude terrain.
The exercise underscores the Indian Army’s readiness and preparedness to defend the nation’s borders, particularly in challenging terrain near the China border. Such training exercises enhance the army’s capabilities and strengthen its deterrence posture against potential threats.
