Australia is hosting its largest-ever military exercise, 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 HMS Prince of Wales and USS George Washington. New missile systems, such as the US Army’s Typhon and Australia’s NASAMS, were tested for the first time in the Pacific. The exercises are seen as a show of force and deterrence in response to China’s growing influence and military activity in the region, with reports of Chinese surveillance during the drills.
The unprecedented scale and multinational participation underscore a strengthening of alliances and military readiness in the Indo-Pacific.
