What is the importance of Joint military exercises for the countries:
Military exercises play a very important role in maintaining international relations and cooperation. When two or more countries come together to perform this exercise, their militaries get a chance to understand each other's procedures, drills, practices, and equipment capabilities. This overall practice increases the familiarity of the military forces of both the countries and also instills a feeling of camaraderie and brotherhood amongst fellow military soldiers, thereby enhancing the diplomatic relations between the countries. Now let's look at the list of joint military exercises that India undertakes with its fellow countries:
