What does it feel like to freefall jump into thin air, four kilometres above the earth alongside Lithuanian Special Forces operators? High-altitude, low-opening (HALO) freefall jumps are a useful but risky method of infiltrating Special Operations Forces into dangerous territory. By plunging from altitudes as high as 10 kilometres and opening their parachutes close to the ground, operators are able to hit small drop zones without being detected.
