A Visit to Leh

by Arun S Vishwakarma
114HU is premier and high profile IAF flying unit by virtue of continuously playing pivotal role since 1982 in longest active war zone in Siachen Glacier. Of all Indian armed forces (IAF and IA) in Siachen 114HU has the unique distinction of being the longest serving battle unit. The Cheetah helicopters of 114HU are the only ones that can land at Siachen’s posts. Where as Mi17 and AN32 can do para-drop at select low altitude Siachen drop zones, 114HU Cheetah is the saviour for supplies, med-vac & reconnaissance to high altitude frontline.
