= Operation Brasstacks
{wiki=Operation_Brasstacks}
Operation Brasstacks was a large-scale military exercise conducted by the Indian Armed Forces in late 1986 and early 1987. The exercise was aimed at simulating a potential conflict scenario along India's western border, primarily against Pakistan, and involved the mobilization of troops, armor, and artillery units. The operation was significant not only for its scale but also because it prompted a strong reaction from Pakistan, which viewed the maneuver as a potential invasion threat.
