Tens of thousands of troops from the US, Australia, UK, Japan, and other allies are participating in Talisman Sabre 2025, the largest-ever military exercise in Australia.
The drills feature dramatic airborne operations, live-fire missile tests—including new US and Australian systems—and joint naval maneuvers with aircraft carriers HMS Prince of Wales and USS George Washington. The exercises are designed to enhance interoperability and demonstrate a united front amid rising tensions with China, which has been caught spying on the drills. For the first time, Pacific nations like Papua New Guinea and Fiji are also involved, highlighting the growing regional focus on security.
The show of force underscores allied commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific and signals readiness to deter potential threats.
