New Delhi: The Indian Air Force (IAF) carried out a daring rescue mission on January 13, showcasing exceptional courage and expertise to save the lives of two critically injured Andaman Police personnel stranded on the remote Narcondum Island.  

The volcanic island, known for its rugged terrain and isolation, presented challenges to the rescue team. With no designated landing zone available, the IAF pilots showcased extraordinary skill and precision by executing a low hover manoeuvre—half over jagged rocks exposed by the low tide and half over the sea.

This perilous operation allowed the team to safely evacuate the injured personnel in record time.

The timely response and unparalleled expertise of the IAF pilots ensured that the injured individuals received critical medical attention, highlighting the Air Force's commitment to safeguarding lives under the most challenging circumstances.

The successful rescue from Narcondum Island not only underscores the IAF's operational excellence but also serves as an inspiring reminder of their motto: "Touch the sky with glory."
