What wound are you referring to? Osama has gone to a better place, time heals all wounds and wounds all heels.
This exercise has nothing to do with Osama's sad demise.

A routene set of exercises , nothing at all to do with current circumstances . Now If we were to reschedule our exercises , in accordance with events , we would have our hands too full for comfort.

is Arjun participating in this?
And there starts the new tirade of conspiracy theorists.... Someone wanted to add tanks and someone would've said... Aaa ja, dekh lenge tujhe bhi ... Jana's right... Bring it along with some popcorn!
Military exercises, that too those that have been declared in advance should ideally be treated as routine... and where else will they do the exercise... in Mumbai city? ... Unless you really believe that either of us has that kind of extra money to finger the other party (Know what I mean), I do genuinely think (and hope) that armymen on both the sides are smarter than a lot of us on these forums...
Cheers!

Indian Army practises blitzkrieg to strike hard at enemy
Getting leaner and meaner? Army practises blitzkrieg to strike hard at enemy
NEW DELHI: In keeping with the "transformation" underway in the 1.13-million strong Army to make it leaner and meaner, the force is conducting a major exercise to practice blitzkrieg-style operations to hit the enemy hard at short-notice.
The exercise " Vijayee Bhava" (Be Victorious), being held in the Thar desert, basically revolves around the armour-intensive 2 Corps, considered to be the most crucial of the Army's three principal "strike" formations tasked with virtually cutting Pakistan into two during a full-fledged war, as was first reported by TOI last month.
"The manoeuvres are being conducted in north Rajasthan (in the Suratgarh region) to test the operational and transformational effectiveness of the Ambala-based Kharga Corps (2 Corps) as also validate new concepts which have emerged during the transformational studies undertaken by the Army," said an officer on Monday.
The Army, as reported earlier, has undertaken as many as 13 transformational studies, which range from consolidating strike capabilities to flattening different HQs, with the overall aim being to make the force "an agile, lethal, versatile and networked force" ready for the operational challenges of the 21st Century.
The most significant endeavour is to bring the three "strike" corps -- 1 Corps (Mathura), 2 Corps (Ambala) and 21 Corps (Bhopal), which are under separate regional commands -- under one umbrella strategic command.
"Working towards a capability-based approach, the Army has embarked on several transformational initiatives spanning concepts, organizational structures and absorption of new age technology, particularly in PGMs (precision-guided munitions), advanced surveillance systems, space and network-centricity," he said.
"These are being fielded and trial-evaluated by nominated test-bed formations and units participating in the exercise," added the officer.
This comes even as Army and IAF have stepped up coordination in the western theatre to build "an integrated and organic" air-land war-fighting machinery. In tune with this, a large number of IAF aircraft, including MiG-29s, MiG-21 'Bisons', Jaguars and Mi-25 attack helicopters, are also taking part in the "Vijayee Bhava" exercise.

India practicing blitzkrieg? As the glacier roads fiasco shows, its services can't even jointly plan their strategic development together. I'd love to witness the exercises for they must surely be a comedy of errors - from a safe location, of course.
I'm not saying India can't do it, only that it'll take a lot of practice - and more careful thinking between the services.

6 years later they split Pakistan into two. Practice makes one perfect. So they changed their tea session to Dhaka. Big deal. Important thing is they achieved desired result.
