The United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and 16 other nations have launched Talisman Sabre 2025, the largest joint military exercise in Australia's history, involving over 40,000 personnel.
The drills feature dramatic airborne operations, live-fire missile tests—including new US Army midrange systems and Japanese surface-to-ship missiles—and coordinated naval maneuvers with aircraft carriers from the US and UK. The exercise aims to strengthen multinational partnerships and demonstrate advanced military capabilities in the Indo-Pacific region amid rising tensions with China, which has been caught spying on the drills. Australia also showcased advancements in its air and missile defense systems, while highlighting gaps in its amphibious landing craft fleet.
The massive show of force underscores allied readiness and interoperability in response to potential regional threats.
