When Indian test pilot taught a lesson to German legends

India's first indigenous fighter jet (and also first from Asia) HF-24 was designed by HAL. The design was much ahead of that time and India earned an incredible achievement soon to be faded away .
At first German legend Wilhelm Messerschmitt was offered to lead the joint design team . He had made Bf 109- second most produced fighter aircraft ever, Me 209- the fastest of that time and Me 262- world's first jet fighter. But he refused the offer.
After his refusal, Dr Kurt Tank and Herr Mittlehuber were invited as consulting lead designer. Tank was also a famous designer who made several famous WW 2 fighter aircrafts as well as a fighter jet for Argentina.

Chachro Raid

The objective was to strike deep inside Chachro and create a chaos there. It was a strategically important stronghold for Pakistani Army. A hammer strike there would cut off supply line to Pak Army. To complete their mission,the forces travelled over 500 km !
There were two teams : Alpha and Charlie ( possibly 80 commandos in each ). Jeep and Jongas were equipped with MMGs.

Many people can't understand why double hump Bacterian camels, soon to be inducted into Indian Army to help patrol India-China border, is an advantage rather burden. They can carry 170 kg of load easily for 12 km even at 17000 ft of elevation.
By the way, yes, PLA of China too used animal for patrolling
