Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025 has brought together over 40,000 troops from 19 nations, including the US, UK, Australia, and Japan, for the largest military drills ever held in Australia.
The exercises feature dramatic airborne operations, live missile firings, and joint naval maneuvers with aircraft carriers USS George Washington and HMS Prince of Wales. The drills are widely seen as a show of force and interoperability among Western allies in the Indo-Pacific, aimed at deterring potential aggression from China. Notably, China was caught spying on the exercises, underscoring the region’s heightened strategic competition.
The event also marked several military firsts, such as Australia’s live firing of US-supplied HIMARS and the debut of new missile defense systems.
