Australia is hosting its biggest military exercise in history, Talisman Sabre 2025, involving over 40,000 personnel from 19 nations, including the US, UK, Japan, and NATO allies.
The drills feature dramatic airborne operations, live-fire missile tests, and joint naval maneuvers with aircraft carriers USS George Washington and HMS Prince of Wales. New missile systems and air defense technologies, such as the US Army’s midrange capability and Australia’s NASAMS, were successfully tested. The exercise aims to strengthen multinational partnerships and demonstrate deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, particularly as China increases its regional presence and was reportedly caught spying on the drills.
The unprecedented scale and integration of forces underscore allied commitment to a free and open Pacific.
