Kishtwar (Jammu), Feb 24 : Meet ‘Tyson’, the fearless and valiant assault dog of the Indian Army, who played a critical role in the elimination of three dreaded Pakistani terrorists in Kishtwar in Jammu two days back.
The German Shepherd was injured in firing by the terrorists when he exposed their presence in a hideout, a ‘dhok’ (kutcha mud house), located on a slope of a mountain range in Chhatroo village of Kishtwar.
Tyson was the first to charge at the hideout when a joint team of the Army, CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police launched an operation against the terrorists following inputs about there presence there.
After being hit by a bullet in a leg, the dog was airlifted to the Army Base Hospital for treatment and is recovering well now.
The namesake of legendary heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson was trained at the prestigious Dog Breeding & Training School of CRPF at Taralu in Karnataka from February 2, 2022 to December 22, 2022.
“In the recent Operation Trashi-I at #𝗞𝗶𝘀𝗵𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿, 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗗𝗼𝗴 ‘𝗧𝘆𝘀𝗼𝗻’, displayed extraordinary courage by taking the first bullet while leading the entry into the terrorists’ hideout,” said a post on X by Jammu-based White Knight Corps of the Indian Army.
“Undeterred by his injuries, he pressed forward and launched a fierce assault, compelling the terrorists to open fire and thereby confirming their presence. His fearless action enabled the troops of #𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗞𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘀, and #CRPF to precisely engage and neutralise three 𝗣𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻-𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀,” the post added.
The operation in an inhospitable terrain resulted in the neutralization of 3 Pakistani terrorists of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) outfit, including a commander codenamed Saifullah.
