Sudan crisis: IAF pilots use NVG to rescue 121 Indians from destroyed airstrip

In a daring operation, the IAF rescued 121 people from a small airstrip at Wadi Sayyidna, 40 km north of the violence-hit Sudan capital of Khartoum on the intervening night of April 27 and 28.

The IAF pilots used night vision goggles to carry out the landing at night as the airstrip had a
degraded surface with no navigational aid or fuel, and most critically no landing lights which are required to guide an aircraft landing at night, ANI reported.

Among those rescued in the operation was a pregnant woman and the people who had no means to reach Port Sudan.
