  Singapore and Indian Armies Conduct Fourth Armour Exercise

  The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and the Indian Army are conducting a bilateral armour exercise, codenamed Bold Kurukshetra, from 25 Mar to 5 May 08 in central India. This is the fourth in the Bold Kurukshetra series of annual exercises between the two countries.
  
  The exercise involves the SAF soldiers from the 41st Battalion, Singapore Armoured Regiment and Headquarters, 4th Singapore Armoured Brigade. As part of the exercise, the two armies conducted joint planning and training, and executed integrated manoeuvres and live-firing. For the first time, the SAF has deployed its BIONIX I Infantry Fighting Vehicle and the BRONCO All-Terrain Tracked Carrier for this exercise series.
  
  Exercise Bold Kurukshetra underscores the warm defence relationship between Singapore and India. Besides exercising together, the SAF and the Indian Armed Forces interact regularly through visits, courses, seminars and other professional exchanges.

  I think that's the 120mm rapid mortar (is it another product from our Mideast friend?)

  Now that we will officially be getting 'upgraded' Leopard 2A4, I hope we'll see some of these tanks + Apaches in future C4I-enabled combined arms exercises with the Indian Army.

  Sorry, my bad, looks like the 120mm SRAMS was developed by StEngg.

  Yes, India did not use the Apache. I think the Apache can be deployed since the Singapore Air Force has deployed F-16's during the Air exercise.

  The Indian Army's attack heli is armed Dhruv. http://www.army-technology.com/projects/dhruv/

  The first flight of the dedicated attack heli known as the HAL Light Combat helicopter is expected in 2008.
