Indian Air Force activates another road stretch as an emergency airstrip
Tuesday, 19 March 2024 IAF conducts operations on ELF airstrip in Bapatla, Andhra Pradesh. Sukhoi-30MKI fighters and Hawk advanced jet trainers successfully carried out “low overshoots”. ELFs provide flexibility during conflicts and HADR missions. NHAI constructs ELFs in various states including five in Assam; four in West Bengal; three each in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Rajasthan.
The Indian Air Force deployed its MI 17 V5 helicopter on Saturday (April 27) to combat the forest fires ravaging the Nainital district in Uttarakhand, as confirmed by the state’s Chief Minister, Pushkar Singh Dhami. Utilising a "Bambi Bucket," the helicopter retrieved water from Bhimtal Lake, situated near Nainital, and discharged it onto the flames engulfing the forests. Here's an insight into the Bambi Bucket and its inception.
