Fighter jet test-lands on Yamuna Expressway
The exercise was a part of trials to use national highways for emergency landings, reports said.
Before the jet landed, an Indian Air Force helicopter took several rounds in the air. Several Air Force personnel were at the spot.
Reports quoted Air Force personnel as saying this was a routine operation to test the area as a possible landing strip for fighter planes in case of an emergency.
The six-lane Yamuna Expressway on the outskirts of the capital connects to Agra in Uttar Pradesh.
