In a powerful display of joint combat readiness near the sensitive Sir Creek region along the India-Pakistan border, the Indian Armed Forces conducted Exercise ‘Brahma Shira’ under the ongoing Tri-Services Exercise Trishul. The exercise brought together the Indian Army, Indian Navy, Indian Air Force, Indian Coast Guard and the Border Security Force, showcasing India’s ability to conduct integrated multi-domain operations across land, air and sea in one of the most challenging terrains.
The drills were held in the Rann of Kutch and the Creek sector, an area where tidal marshlands, shifting channels and shallow waters demand high tactical precision and coordination.

Night Operations, Drones, Navy Ships Featured in the Drill
The video shared by the Army showcased:
* Night troop movements in marshy terrain
* Indian Navy vessels operating in the shallow Sir Creek waters
* Drone and radar-based surveillance grids
* Joint operational control rooms
* Deployment of artillery and tank units
* Sukhoi aircraft conducting aerial support and troop drops
* Hovercraft and amphibious teams conducting creek manoeuvre drills
These elements underline India’s high surveillance coverage and quick reaction capability even in difficult coastal environments.
Strategic Message
The drill takes on added significance given recent developments on the other side of the border. Pakistan’s Navy Chief was recently seen inspecting forward posts in the Creeks region using hovercraft detachments. The timing of India’s exercise is widely seen as a clear, calculated response to that posturing.
Just weeks earlier, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh issued a blunt warning to Pakistan, cautioning against any misadventure in the Sir Creek sector. Senior Indian military officers later reiterated that any provocation would invite decisive retaliation.
India’s Position
India has maintained that while it is committed to peace and stability in the region, its patience must not be mistaken for weakness. The latest exercise sends a message that India possesses the capability, coordination and confidence to secure its maritime and land frontiers under hostile conditions.
Exercise Brahma Shira, a part of ongoing Exercise Trishul, stands as one of the clearest demonstrations yet of India’s joint operational strength, proving that the Indian Armed Forces are not only modernizing rapidly but are also fully prepared to dominate in the Sir Creek sector if required. At a time when Pakistan tries to create optics of readiness, India has responded with real capability on ground, at sea, and in the air.
