Two teams from the Indian military planted the National Flag on Mount Elbrus in Russia recently. While one team had three members from the Indian Army, the other was a tri-services team. Together, they climbed the mountain as part of the ‘Climb for Peace’ event organised by the International Military Sports Council (CISM). Headquartered in Brussels, CISM organises sporting events for the armed forces of its 141 member countries. Along with India, 13 other countries, including Russia, China and Brazil, took part in the event.
Mount Elbrus, at 18,510 feet, is known to be the highest peak in Europe and the 10th highest mountain in the world. It is located in southern Russia in the Russian Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria. The Indian Army’s social media pages posted photos of the Indian team on the summit. Check them out and get inspired!
