The Indian Air Force on Tuesday landed its C-130J Super
Hercules transport plane at the world’s highest and recently-activated airstrip
at Daulat Beg Oldie (DBO) in Ladakh, close to the Line of Actual Control (LAC)
where Indian and Chinese troops had witnessed a three-week long stand-off in
April.
A C-130J Super Hercules landed at DBO, the highest airstrip
in the world at 0654 hours on Tuesday.
The Commanding Officer, Group Captain
Tejbir Singh, and the crew of the ‘Veiled Vipers’ along with senior officer
touched down on the DBO airstrip located at 16614 feet (5065 meters) in the
Aksai Chin area,’’ the IAF said in a statement.
“With this enhanced airlift capability, the IAF will now be
in a better position to meet the requirements of our land forces who are
heavily dependent on the air bridge for sustenance in these higher and
inhospitable areas,’’ the IAF said.
