Tens of thousands of troops from the US, Australia, UK, Japan, and other allies are participating in Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025, the largest-ever military drill in Australia.
The exercise features joint operations including live-fire missile tests, airborne assaults, and coordinated naval maneuvers, with US and UK aircraft carriers operating together in the Pacific. The drills are designed to enhance interoperability and demonstrate a united front amid rising tensions with China, which has reportedly been caught spying on the exercises. 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 unprecedented scale and multinational participation underscore a growing commitment to collective security and deterrence in the Indo-Pacific.
