On July 2, 2007, the PLA used military helicopters for the first time to take part in the operation on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, which is known as the "roof of the world". The first battle in Shiqu County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and Jiangda County, Tibet Autonomous Region was successful. It lasted for 10 days before and after the operation, with more than 400000 Mu times, basically controlling the locust disaster in the border area between Sichuan and Tibet. In Dengke township government, Liu Zhongxian, deputy head of Jiangda County, said: "the PLA and Sichuan Province support us free of charge to kill locusts, and the effect is remarkable." the second army aviation regiment of a certain department of Chengdu Military Region is carrying out this task. Two advanced military helicopters are used to help the Tibetan people fight the locust plague. Li Xiang, deputy head of the team, said that more than 50 sorties were flown at the first station and more than 30 tons of pesticides were sprayed. it is understood that military aircraft operations can basically control the current trend of locust infestation. However, due to the gradual excavation of locusts in Tibet from May to October, the locusts unearthed after this operation still need to be controlled. in recent years, Tibetan migratory locusts have been rampant on the Tibetan Plateau, but their life history and habits are still mysterious. Experts believe that because the relevant research on Tibetan migratory locust is still in its infancy, many fields are still blank, so it is difficult to control it.
