Which edition of the India-Kazakhstan joint military exercise KAZIND is being held in 2026?

  1. A.Seventh
  2. B.Eighth
  3. C.Ninth
  4. D.Tenth

Correct answer

C. Ninth

Explanation

The correct answer is the ninth edition. The Ministry of Defence described KAZIND-2026 as the ninth edition of the joint military exercise between the two countries, conducted at Oskemen in Kazakhstan from 28 September to 11 October 2026. Questions on defence exercises very often turn on the edition number and the venue, so both are worth memorising together. The seventh and eighth editions are wrong because those rounds were held in earlier years and the announcement of 28 September 2026 is clear that this round is the ninth. The tenth is wrong because that edition is still to come, and it will be held in the next cycle of the exercise. Along with the edition, remember that the Indian contingent numbered 60 personnel, was built around a Garhwal Rifles battalion with Indian Air Force personnel, and that the training is aimed at joint counter-terrorism operations under a United Nations mandate.
