On Wednesday’s bright orange morning, the Konark Corps launched Akhand Prahar—the burning center of Exercise Trishul—transforming the dunes of Rajasthan into a vibrant 360° battlefield where Army’s T-90s, Navy’s Marcos and Indian Air Force’s Rafales fought simultaneously.

The Ministry of Defence’s 72-second reel showed the X opening fire:

– 00:12 — Swarm of drones blinds fake enemy radar.

– 00:28 — BrahMos battery fired in waves up to 600 kilometers inside.

– 00:45 — Sukhoi-30 drops LGBs while Akash-NG covers the sky.

– 01:03 — Night-vision Para-SF made rapid advances on the “occupied” airbase.

This is Vermillion 2.0: Six months after the May 7 attacks, which killed more than 100 terrorists, Trishul stress-tests every lesson—joint targeting, real-time satellite hand-off, cyber blackouts.

Shocking statistics:

– 1,800 square km battlefield (bigger than Delhi)

– 42 indigenous systems (Arjun MK-1A, Zoravar LT, Pinaka-Z)

– More than 200 flights, 40 warships, 3 submarine wolf-pack

– Live NOTAM till November 10—Pakistan diverted 68 flights.

Vice Admiral Pramod (DGNO) told NDTV: “One click, one kill—any domain, any service.” 22°C in the morning, 48°C in the afternoon, no communication blackout for 18 consecutive hours. AI-powered fire-control reduced 42 seconds from the kill-chain.

Phase II concludes on 8 November: Amphibious assault on Kori Creek—see Marcos storming the beaches while Apache gunships provide top cover. Message to adversaries: Vermillion shows its reach; The trident showed that time is ours.
