As a self-proclaimed world power, a powerful country in South Asia, and a leading big brother in developing countries, the Indian army's riotous operations have always been endless, not to mention the fancy overloading of motorcycles at military parades, and it has become a routine operation for all kinds of fighters to fall and fall when they arrive in India.
Even the well-prepared parachute jumping performance was realized and he deliberately bought a parachute with a unit price of tens of thousands of dollars, and as a result, 33 people parachuted and ended up with a funeral for 34 people! What kind of mysterious operation is this?
A skydiving show to show off your strength
India can be regarded as a big country in terms of land area, population, economic size and other indicators, and of course, India itself thinks so, not only a big country but also a world power, and wants to surpass the mainland in everything.
But in the eyes of a real power, India has always been just a joke, when it got rid of British colonial rule, relying not on resistance but on non-violence and non-cooperation. India is also the only country in the world that was founded through meditation.
When India was ambitious and wanted to take Tibet on the mainland and divide Sichuan into a demilitarized zone, it was severely cleaned up by our army, and a war of aggression that was determined to win was fought to defend the capital, and the whole world knew the strength of this "five scum of war".
As the so-called bystanders are obsessed with the authorities, the Indian army has never felt that it is the "five scum of war", and the fancy performance of motorcycles at military parades has always been a reserved program.
As a veritable regional power in South Asia, India has tried every means to prove its strength to the world, shouting the slogan "No. 1 in Asia, No. 3 in the world" and desperately trying to prove that it is worthy of this identity.
In order to show the world its extraordinary strength, in 2013, the Indian army organized a parachute show to show the strength of the Indian Air Force and the excellence of Indian soldiers.
The reason why the parachute show was chosen is because the Indian paratrooper regiment was established as early as 1941 and is considered an old qualification among the world's airborne forces. In the Indian army, the paratroopers are the most rigorously selected, hard-trained, and elite units.
In the eyes of India's top leaders, it is absolutely foolproof for such an elite unit to perform a parachute jump on its own soil, and it will certainly leave a deep impression on the dignitaries of various countries who come to watch the ceremony.
Although it has confidence in its own soldiers, the Indian military did not take it lightly this time, and in order to present the best performance effect, it deliberately imported some parachutes from the United States for performance at a unit price of tens of thousands of dollars.
The reason why they buy from the United States is not that India cannot produce it itself, but obviously because the Indian military does not dare to believe in the capabilities of its own national enterprises, and would rather buy from the United States at a high price than give the country some soup.
After all, this performance is related to the face of the country, and it doesn't matter if you spend more money, as long as you can achieve the ultimate goal. Besides, as long as India itself does not say it, who can know that these parachutes were bought from the United States at a great price?
The idea of the Indian top brass is good, but they still underestimate the mysterious operation of the Indian soldiers.
The parachute jump was not successful, and he fell from a high altitude
In addition to buying parachutes at a high price, the Indian army also deliberately selected 33 people from the thousands of paratroopers, which added a layer of insurance to the parachute jumping performance.
The soldiers are the most elite soldiers, the parachute is a new type of high-precision controllable parachute, everything is ready only to the east wind, just waiting for the successful completion of the parachute performance, the Indian army can become recognized as "the strongest in Asia".
However, people are not as good as heaven, and no matter how well prepared India is, it has not been able to avoid another moth on the day of the performance.
On the day of the performance, dignitaries from all over the world gathered in Ajasthan, India, waiting for the Indian paratroopers to put on a wonderful performance, and then applauded and complimented.
Thirty-three soldiers were sent high into the air by warplanes to perform a parachute jump codenamed "Iron Fist". After the plane reached the designated area and altitude, the paratroopers jumped from the plane one by one according to the order.
Small figures fell rapidly from the sky, and the dignitaries of various countries on the ground also waited to see them open their parachutes and land safely, and then end this wonderful performance.
However, what everyone did not expect was that 33 paratroopers fell rapidly, but they did not open their parachutes for a long time. Seeing that the optimal time for opening the parachute was about to be exceeded, the paratroopers still did not make any action to open the parachute.
This operation can shake the political leaders of various countries very lightly, and the Indian paratroopers are as brave as ever, and they are indeed elite soldiers that only the world powers can have. In the hearts of dignitaries from various countries, Indian soldiers immediately rose several steps.
The dignitaries on the ground were thinking about how to report the bravery of the Indian soldiers when they returned home, but the 33 paratroopers in the sky had already begun to greet the eighteenth generation of American and Indian procurement personnel.
It's not that they don't want to open the parachute, it's that the parachute won't open, and no matter how much they try, the main and secondary parachutes just don't move, as if they are not carrying a parachute, but a backpack of stones.
Of course, there are a few lucky ones who finally opened the parachute after some hard work, but because they missed the best time to open the parachute, the descent speed was too fast, and the parachute could not withstand the huge impact force, and it was blown to pieces as soon as it was opened.
In the desperate shouts, the 33 paratroopers fell to the ground one after another, not safely, but directly to the ground, and had a negative distance close contact with Mother Earth, falling from a height of several thousand meters, directly under the ground.
It was only at this time that the dignitaries of various countries woke up from a dream, it turned out that it was not the Indian soldiers who were brave, but they really couldn't open the parachute, and everyone had a new assessment of the strength of the Indian army at this time, and the faces of the Indian military leaders were a little darker than usual, almost catching up with the skin color of the Africans.
33 people parachuted, 34 died
The lucky ones who fell to death at the scene, and there were some unfortunate soldiers who didn't know where they fell in the end, anyway, they didn't see anyone dead or dead.
According to later statistics, 16 of the 33 soldiers who participated in the parachute jump died on the spot, 9 were missing, and the remaining 8 fell and were seriously injured.
A well-prepared skydiving performance turned out to be a freefall experiment, which was really an eye-opener for countries around the world. What surprised the world even more was that 33 people parachuted, but in the end 34 people were killed and injured. And who is this extra one?
It turned out that before the parachute jump performance of the Indian paratroopers, India carried out high-profile propaganda, and such an important event could not only be shown to foreign dignitaries, but also the people in their own country could participate in the grand event and enhance their patriotic enthusiasm and self-confidence.
So, a farmer around the performance venue, in order to see it more realistically, ran to the vicinity of the landing site to see, thinking of seeing the majestic posture of the Indian soldiers, but he didn't expect to take his own life.
Because the parachute could not be opened, the soldier who fell at high speed deviated, and then one soldier accidentally smashed into the peasant's head, and finally both of them died.
With such a bizarre way of death, it is estimated that the farmers themselves did not expect that after planting the land for most of their lives, they would eventually encounter such a strange way of dying.
I wanted to show the strong strength of the Indian army, but I didn't expect a well-prepared parachuting performance to make India a laughing stock all over the world in an instant. With such a serious mistake, someone has to come out and take the blame.
In this incident, the most reassuring thing is the local parachute company in India, because in this performance, the local parachute was not used at all, and no matter how you calculate, it is not to blame the Indian parachute manufacturing company.
Unable to shift the blame to its own companies, the Indian government has pointed the finger at the United States and Japan, which are the parachutes used in the parachutes used in the parachutes from the United States and Japan.
In the face of these accusations, of course, American and Japanese companies will not admit it. This is simply a joke, the quality of the parachutes produced by themselves is not up to par, who will dare to buy an umbrella in the future?
As a result, the U.S. and Japanese companies reversed the blame for India's failure to carry out proper maintenance after the purchase, which led to this incident.
Later, the enterprises of the two countries seemed to suddenly open their minds, directly accusing India of high-level corruption, buying low-quality umbrellas from India at low prices, and pretending to be American and Japanese parachutes to defraud the country of money.
Neither side could produce tangible evidence, and after a war of words for a while, no one paid attention to it, and in the end it had to be stopped.
The strange operation of the Indian army
The parachute jump turned into an accident and was a routine operation for the Indian army, which has always been good at making the impossible possible.
As a powerful and expensive weapon, can you believe that the Indian Air Force has lost thousands of fighters in more than 30 years? So much so that India has become the country that has lost the most fighters in peacetime.
These downed fighters also have one thing in common, that is, they have all been repaired by Indian companies. Before the maintenance, there were minor problems, and after the maintenance, the entire aircraft became scattered parts, returning to its original state.
There is also the aircraft carrier on which India has high hopes, which has caught fire three times in three years, and after commissioning, it has been docked in port for much longer than it has been at sea. It gives people the feeling that it seems to be in service and as if it is not in service, which can be called "Schrödinger's aircraft carrier".
India's self-produced nuclear submarine, after holding a launching ceremony with gongs and drums, almost sank to the bottom of the sea because it forgot to close the valve.
Not to mention India's aircraft, the aircraft developed by itself took decades and is still on the drawings, and even if it can really be built one day, it will be backward when it lands.
The Indian army can do what the armies of other countries can do, and the Indian army is even more capable of what the armies of other countries cannot do.
