same case. i was living in village .army was everywhere. for the first time i heard paf fighter engine sound at that time.
We only had a helicopter land once or twice. It was mostly APC’s & Tanks & a lot of infantry.
Normal Army exercises were held twice a year around our villages. Once around May/June & the other around winter months. That year however the presence lasted for months.
The last time I witnessed the army exercises was in 2005 & it was around mid may to early June. I did something really silly but thankfully slipped away before the soldiers rounded up everyone present there
