Aims and Objectives of ZAPAD 2025

Exercise ZAPAD 2025 is a large-scale multilateral training aimed at enhancing military cooperation and improving interoperability among participating nations. It provides a platform for exchanging tactics, techniques, and procedures across conventional warfare and counter-terrorism domains.

Emphasis will also be placed on integrating emerging technologies and operating within a multinational combat environment.

Enhancing Operational Capabilities

Through this participation, Indian troops will gain valuable exposure to international best practices in battlefield tactics, operational planning, and coordination. The exercise offers an opportunity to hone joint operational capabilities while strengthening the ability to conduct multinational missions effectively.

It will also foster defence partnerships by allowing the Indian Armed Forces to train alongside international contingents, creating a spirit of collaboration and mutual trust.

India-Russia Defence Ties

India’s participation in ZAPAD 2025 underscores its commitment to reinforcing long-standing defence cooperation with Russia. The exercise not only strengthens bilateral military ties but also highlights India’s proactive engagement in multilateral security initiatives.

By engaging in joint drills and operations, both nations continue to build on their shared legacy of strategic partnership, ensuring preparedness against emerging security challenges in today’s global environment.
