Answer

The correct statements are the ones describing Exercise Tarang Shakti as the Indian Air Force's premier multinational air exercise and Mission Divyastra as the maiden flight test of the Agni-V missile carrying MIRV technology.
The statement identifying Exercise Tarang Shakti is correct because it is the flagship multinational air exercise hosted by the Indian Air Force to enhance multi-domain tactical cooperation. The statement regarding Mission Divyastra is also correct because it represents the historical maiden test of DRDO's MIRV-capable Agni-V missile system.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Evaluate the statement regarding Exercise Tarang Shakti
Exercise Tarang Shakti is indeed the largest multinational air combat exercise hosted by the Indian Air Force to foster air defense operational interoperability.
Verifying the service branch (IAF) and operational format (multinational air exercise).
2
Evaluate the statement regarding Exercise SLINEX
The statement is incorrect. SLINEX is a bilateral naval exercise between India and Sri Lanka, not an army exercise between India and Singapore (which is SIMBEX/Bold Kurukshetra).
Checking partner nation and service branch domain for military exercise acronyms.
3
Evaluate the statement regarding Mission Divyastra
The statement is correct. Mission Divyastra was the first successful flight test of India's indigenous Agni-V missile integrated with MIRV technology.
Confirming missile technology designations and strategic defense milestones.
4
Evaluate the statement regarding Project Akashteer
The statement is incorrect. Project Akashteer is the Indian Army's automated Air Defense Control and Reporting System developed by BEL, not a deep-sea submersible.
Verifying defense procurement projects and domain applications.
