Beijing: China has commissioned its first military air ambulance to evacuate wounded army personnel during cross-border army, naval operations and in peacekeeping missions abroad. \r\nAs People\'s Liberation Army (PLA) troops carry out cross-border military operations, such as naval escort mission in the Gulf of Aden, international peacekeeping and joint military exercises, which has made it necessary to have its air ambulance instead of relying on civilian aviation rescue institutions to evacuate wounded and sick military personnel, the report said. |
