In recent days, India has showcased its firepower on land, in the air, and at sea. 

India displayed the capabilities of its indigenous defence equipment at the 'Bharat Shakti' integrated tri-services firepower exercise, held at Rajasthan's Pokhran field firing range on March 12. 

As awestruck spectators watched the exercise unfold, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Pokhran had become witness to the trinity of India's 'aatmanirbharta' (self-reliance), belief, and self-pride.

The roar of the indigenous LCA Tejas combat aircraft and ALH Mk-IV helicopter filled the air, while the Arjun main battle tank, K-9 Vajra self-propelled howitzer, and the Dhanush artillery guns ruled the firing range down below.

But, while the Indian Army's Arjun tanks fired their guns and the Indian Air Force's Tejas jets shot through the skies, the Indian Navy had a special treat in store for military enthusiasts. 

On March 13, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence also posted a video on social media platform X, with breathtaking footage of the Indian Navy's two carriers engaged in simultaneous operations.
