Australia is hosting its biggest military exercise in history, Talisman Sabre 2025, involving over 40,000 personnel from 19 nations, including the US, UK, and Japan.
The drills feature dramatic airborne operations, live-fire missile tests, and joint naval maneuvers with aircraft carriers from the US and UK. New weapons 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 exercise is widely seen as a rehearsal for potential conflict in the Indo-Pacific, particularly with China, which was caught spying on the drills.
The show of force underscores growing military cooperation among Western allies and partners in response to regional security concerns.
