Indian Air Force fighter jets touchdown on Lucknow-Agra Expressway.
Tuesday, October 24, 2017 IST
New Delhi: The Indian Air Force on Tuesday began landing a number of fighter jets as well as a Super Hercules C130 transport plane on the Lucknow-Agra Expressway as part of a special drill to test operational capabilities in case of emergencies such as disaster relief, humanitarian assistance, as well as in situations of war or conflict.
A C130 plane with Garud commandos was the first to land, followed by touchdowns and low flybys by several Mirage and Sukhoi fighter jets. The other IAF fighter jets scheduled to touchdown are the Jaguars.
According to reports, the Indian Air Force does not want any of its jets to come to a standstill and only wants to practice its ability to fly low and touchdown on public roads.
The drill is being conducted near Bangarmau in Unnao by the IAF in collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh state government. The expressway itself was inaugurated in November last year and the drill focuses on using public roads for tactical purposes during emergencies.
