New Delhi, Feb. 2 -- The 2025 scenario was inspired by recent conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, featuring large scale operations in heavily contested zones. Crews operated within a scenario involving aggression against an allied nation, requiring them to neutralise naval vessels, secure airspace and contain adversary ground-based air defence systems. Complementary exercises added realism: WILDFIRE 25, a NATO counter-drone exercise conducted by the French Navy, and AEGIS, a French Army ground based air defence exercise. The French Army contribution included air defence assets, attack helicopters and paratroopers from the 11th Parachute Brigade.
