Last photo of operators after being Heli dropped in the mountains through a HAL ALH DHRUV. You can see the trail of route made by terrorists in front besides of the chopper which later they followed. Contact established at 4 am in the morning where visibility was not good & drones couldn't help.

Unfortunately on gunfight spot where snow slide/mini avalanche on corn ice happened & first 3 operators including their commander fell and rolled 150 feet in gorge where terrorists were sitting. All engaged in a close quarter battle despite having fractured bones. All 5 terrorists were eliminated in the engagement where 3 operators KIA on the spot and others 2 succumbed to their injuries in field hospital.
It was a routine operation for them but shear bad luck due to slide their position was exposed.
