Why India Is Using National Highways As Emergency Landing Strips

In a first for IAF, a C-130 J Super Hercules aircraft made a successful landing on a national highway in Rajasthan. The mock landing was conducted on a stretch of national highway which will serve as an emergency landing strip for IAF. The 3km long landing strip has been developed on NH-925 in Rajasthan’s Barmer district. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari was on board the IAF jet that landed on the highway.
