Royal Marine commandos performed a daring parachute jump onto a frozen lake - as NATO forces sent a warning message to Putin to stay out of Scandinavia.
Photographs show soldiers from the elite Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron (SRS) of 30 Commando Information Exploitation Group landing on the ice in Norway before tackling the tricky terrain with ice picks.
The daring jump was part of the NATO exercise 'Joint Viking', where troops were tasked with attacking behind enemy lines and creating a foothold.
Fully-kitted troops can be seen jumping from the low-flying aircraft in an exercise that intends to mimic combat situations.
Scores of parachutes were pictured lining the sky before soldiers landed on the frozen lake and began travelling through the hilly terrain.
