Indian Army Aviation pilots carried out a daring high-altitude helicopter rescue at 18,600 feet near the Nun Kun massif in Ladakh’s Kargil district. The pilots undertook a high-casualty evacuation in the rugged Zanskar range, operating in extremely challenging Himalayan conditions. The operation demanded exceptional flying skills as helicopters face severe performance limitations at such altitudes due to thin air and difficult terrain. The Indian Army said the successful mission showcased the courage and professionalism of its aviation crews and their ability to carry out critical rescue operations in some of the world’s most demanding environments.
