Horses Airlifted By Swiss Military To Test Evacuation Of Injured Animals(Pics) by Explorers(m): 9:17pm On Apr 11, 2021
Horses were airlifted by the Swiss Air Force as part of an unusual trial on Friday.

The horses were hoisted from the ground by a military helicopter as part of a test to work out whether injured animals can be evacuated and transported to vets quickly.


The goal of the exercise is to provide transport and rapid evacuation of injured horses or animals to veterinary medical facilities by air.

The horse appeared to be thrown about by the wind and the helicopter as it was dragged along for a flight.

The horses were carried on the simulated evacuation as part of a trial project carried out by the Vetsuisse faculty of veterinary medicine.

Horse was pictured being prepared for its flight by army vets with a blindfold, harness, head collar, and lead rope


Staff were pictured in their own protective gear, including high-vis jackets and helmets, and noise cancelling headphones, before the experiment.

A second helicopter that was not carrying animals was seen shadowing the Super Puma during at least one of the test flights.

n a second experiment, the Swiss Air Force practiced hoisting three horses together from the Super Puma helicopter.

Onlookers in the town of Saignelegier, in the Swiss canton of Jura, watched as the unusual experiment took place

In 2020, an injured cow was flown by helicopter in Switzerland on during what is known as the "Bodenfahrt", with farmers moving over 1,000 cattle from the higher pastures from the Klausen Pass back to the lower Alps near Urnerboden.

Animals in some country are enjoying a far better social welfare than Nigerians.

instead of regretting or complaining, you can try to contribute your quota to make nigeria better. Remember, it took the effort of some people to make those countries you're eyeing to become what they are today: they haven't always been like that. Nigeria too can be great with you and I!

the airborne cows be like "What the moo is going on here??

Meanwhile someone should tell those guys riding horses around VI that they are torturing those horses. None, I mean not a single one is equipped with a horseshoe. Most of them already have worn out hooves and those guys keep riding them like that feeling themselves. I don't see the donkeys anymore, I wonder what happened to them.

Even animals enjoy better welfare over there than here in Nigeria.....

Over here , the only thing our leaders know how to airlift are stolen properties and different currency notes right directly into their bank accounts!!.....NDI OSHI!!

Juz look at!
Preparing for possible eventualities.
The only eventuality the government prepares for rigorously well is when they prepare the National Budget or when it comes to budget allocation.
If billions no flow from here, it must flow from another entry.
If a puppet company doesn't win a contract, another puppet company will win the same contract.
It goes on and on.

Look at working nations learning how to save animals while Nigeria cannot even save humans, instead Nigerian Airforce are busy learning how to bomb civilians because few military guys got killed by unknown gunmen in a community.


Nigeria must divide, my generation cannot continue like this. They deserve a far better nation as their father's fatherland angry
