Mirage 2000 Fighter Jet Test-Lands on Yamuna Expressway Near Delhi as Part of Trials

 

A Mirage 2000 fighter jet of the Indian Air Force (IAF) test-landed this morning on the Yamuna Expressway just outside Delhi, as part of emergency landing drills on national highways.

At 6.40 am, the fighter plane skimmed the highway and landed briefly before it took off again. Local people, including villagers, gaped at the sight.

"The aircraft made a practice approach on the highway, coming down to a height of 100 metres before landing off the next approach," said an IAF statement.

The 6-lane Yamuna Expressway on the outskirts of the capital connects to Agra in Uttar Pradesh
