SAF, Indian Army conduct bilateral armour exercise in India

SINGAPORE: The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and the Indian Army (IA) are conducting a bilateral armour exercise, Bold Kurukshetra, in India.

This year's exercise is the ninth in the series, with more than 700 soldiers from the SAF and IA participating in integrated manoeuvres, as well as joint planning and training.

One of the highlights is the integrated live-firing conducted on Wednesday, involving the SAF and IA infantry fighting vehicles and IA tanks.

The live-firing was witnessed by Singapore's Chief of Army Major-General (MG) Ravinder Singh, and commander of India's 21 Corps, Lieutenant-General Amit Sharma.

MG Ravinder, who is on his introductory visit to India, also interacted with the SAF troops deployed for the exercise.

Exercise Bold Kurukshetra is conducted under the ambit of the Bilateral Agreement for Joint Army Training and Exercises between the Singapore and Indian armies.

Singapore's Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) said the exercise underscores the warm defence relationship between both countries.

Both sides also interact regularly through high-level visits, policy dialogues, courses, seminars and other professional exchanges.

Well; he is not the only "Singh" in Singapore! There are plenty of them in Singapore.
One could even say that it is "Singhapore". After all Singapore is named as the "Lion-City" after the Merlion, the sea lion.

Just as there are a lot of "Thambys" and such like in Singapore too.
