"Given a window of 6 to 8 hours for emergency surgery to save his appendage, an IAF C-130J aircraft was launched within an hour to move the soldier for surgery at the R&R hospital in Delhi," the IAF said.
"The injured personnel received medical attention promptly due to the dark night airlift on NVGs from the Ladakh sector by IAF," according to a tweet on X by the IAF.
NVGs refer to night vision goggles, which are optoelectronic devices that improve night vision by allowing users to see in low light.
