- Three Indian skydivers brought glory to the nation by participating in a special skydiving expedition held in Benghazi, Libya, on August 7, 2026.
- These UAE-based Indians jumped from an altitude of 13,000 feet alongside a total of 65 international skydivers from 38 countries.
- This collective feat, performed while carrying national flags, set a new record.
- All participants jumped into the skies over Benghazi from a military Ilyushin Il-76TD aircraft in a predetermined sequence.
- This expedition, involving such a large international group, served as a magnificent example of excellent coordination, discipline, and technical proficiency.
- Setting such records in skydiving requires more than just courage.
- Factors such as maintaining the correct distance between participants, body balance, rate of descent, and the precise timing of parachute deployment are crucial.
- Moreover, the challenge is heightened when jumping with national flags, as large flags unfurled in the air create additional drag and can affect the skydivers' balance.
