The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and the Indian Army are conducting Exercise Agni Warrior, a bilateral artillery exercise, from 9 to 30 Oct.

Held in in Devlali, India, this year's exercise involves soldiers from the 20th and 24th Battalion, Singapore Artillery, as well as the Indian Army's 283 Field Regiment.

The highlight of the exercise saw the two armies carrying out a combined live-firing with the SAF's FH-88 Howitzer guns and the Indian Army's 155mm Battery guns on 26 Oct.

Chief of Army Major-General (MG) Neo Kian Hong, who was on an official visit to India from 25 to 27 Oct, witnessed the live-firing with Director-General Artillery Lieutenant-General K R Rao from the Indian Army.

MG Neo also met the SAF and Indian Army troops during the exercise.

This is the sixth instalment in the Agni Warrior series of annual exercises, which underscores the warm and friendly defence ties between Singapore and India.

Besides joint exercises, the SAF and the Indian Armed Forces also interact on a regular basis through visits, courses, seminars and other professional exchanges.
