Australia is hosting its biggest military exercise in history, Talisman Sabre 2025, involving over 40,000 personnel from 19 nations, including the US, UK, and Japan.
The drills feature dramatic airborne operations, live-fire missile tests, and joint naval maneuvers with aircraft carriers from the US and UK. New weapons systems, such as the US Army’s midrange missile launcher and Australia’s NASAMS air defense, were tested for the first time in the region. The exercise is widely seen as a show of force and interoperability among allies in response to growing concerns over China’s activities in the Indo-Pacific.
Chinese surveillance of the drills has been reported, highlighting the strategic significance of the event.
