New Delhi, Jul 27 (PTI) An India-Singapore joint military exercise that seeks to enhance interoperability and joint training capabilities of both armies under the UN mandate will take place in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur from July 27 to August 4, officials said.
The 14th edition of Exercise Bold Kurukshetra will witness the participation of the 42 Singapore Armoured Regiment of the 4 Singapore Armoured Brigade and the Indian Army’s Mechanised Infantry Regiment, the Indian defence ministry said on Sunday.
