Indian and the US militaries will conduct the battalion-level « Yudh Abhyas » exercise between November 15 and December 2 at Auli in Uttarakhand, just 100 km from the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Before this, between November 8 and 18, the member countries of the « Quad » will conduct the Malabar exercise off Yokosuka in Japan, a report in the Times of India (TOI) said. The ‘Quad’ includes the US, Japan, Australia and India.
Earlier in 2022, the Quad had declared that it would « deter » any « coercion » in the Indo-Pacific with an eye on China’s expansionist policies. « Yudh Abhyas » will include « high-altitude warfare drills », the report added.
