In the second video the paratroopers can be seen soaring over the Ladakh mountains in the backdrop of crystal clear blue skies dotted with white clouds.
It should be noted that the paratroopers exited their aircraft over Stakna which was visited by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today morning (17 July).
This show of strength by the Indian Army personnel comes at a time when India is locked in a stand-off with China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
