“Video of Ugandan Special Forces paratroppers failing to land properly”
What FACTLY found
The Paratroopers display shown in the video took place during the 201st Independence day celebration of the Central American country Honduras. On 15 September 2022, 40 Air Force Paratroopers jumped from helicopters as part of a show at the José de la Paz Herrera National Stadium. Due to wind, some of them landed poorly. The visuals taken in Honduras are falsely being shared as those of Uganda’s Special Forces’ failed parachute landing
