Close shave for Russian, Indian top brass
A gust of wind and slight error of judgment could have wiped out the top brass of Indiaâs armed forces as well as Russiaâs defence minister on Sunday.Russian defence minister Ivanov Borisovish, Russiaâs ambassador Trubnikov Ivonovich, Army chief Gen J J Singh, Air Chief Marshal S P Tyagi and half a dozen other generals had a miraculous escape during an Indo-Russian joint exercise at the Mahajan firing range, 137 km from here, when a military jeep â paradropped from an IAF aircraft â landed near the officials watching the proceedings.
