The United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and other allies have launched the largest military exercise in Australia's history, involving over 40,000 personnel from 19 nations.
The Talisman Sabre 2025 drills feature joint operations including airborne jumps, live-fire missile tests, and coordinated naval maneuvers with aircraft carriers and advanced fighter jets. New weapon systems, such as the US Army's midrange missile launcher and Australia's NASAMS air defense, were tested for the first time in the region. The exercises are widely seen as a demonstration of allied readiness and deterrence amid rising tensions with China, which reportedly attempted to spy on the drills.
The event underscores growing military cooperation and interoperability among Western and Indo-Pacific partners in response to evolving security challenges.
