New Delhi, March 8 : Uzbek soldiers will carry out counter-terror operation drills along with their Indian counterparts to enhance capabilities starting Tuesday till March 21 in Chaubatia near Ranikhet in Uttarakhand.
As part of the joint exercise, Jammu and Kashmir-like terror operation situation will be created in Chaubatia wherein both the countries’ armies will sharpen their capabilities and learn skills from each other.
“The settings at Chaubatia will be as close to operations in Kashmir,” said a source.
The exercise is named as Dustlik and it is the second edition. The first one took place in November 2019 near Tashkent in Uzbekistan.
It is aimed at carrying out joint counter terror operations in a mountainous rural and urban scenario.
Special forces tracking techniques, surveillance through a hi-tech command post, slithering operations from helicopters and intelligence-based surgical strikes will be highlights of the exercise.
