IAF Mi-17V5 Crashed Near Coonoor (Tamil Nadu)-CDS Onboard

[JBH22]

Can someone explain the issues with MI-17 helis and how AW would have been a better choice.

Nothing it is just another excuse to lambast Russian equipment. aw 101 is no magic carpet, you fly the risk to crash is always there. The only thing that is pissing us here is the CDS was in that chopper. If it was a regular flight only a mention would have been inserted on a DFI thread

There's this video floating around in social media in which it seems like the helicopter was on fire even before in crashed. I dunno if it's genuine maybe someone here can clarify? It's already on fire before the crash.

Conspiracy being floated by SM.
The usual..the usual.

Anyone got data from flightradar? @mokoman and @mist_consecutive can you guys provide the sat images of the location of the crash? As @Bhumihar said, just want to know about the surrounding and any structure if available.

Crashed 4 km from my home. The truth is known but cannot be made public at this juncture. CCS meet soon.

I don't know why the fuk the chopper was given the go-ahead to fly into the hills when the weather was pretty bad. It's covered with mist and drizzles much of the time.

Bottom line: Poor visibility could have been the cause of the accident.

Altitude of crash site - 5000 ft. Near Kateri village. Thickly forested. The chopper was seen flying way lower than usual. Clearance 7000 ft but flying fat lower.

Went to kateri ( crashed area) , the place is fully cordoned off.. But, coonoor to Mettupalayam road opened to regular commuters..

Video is from Syria and a year old.

Videos from Syria and other middle east shit hole will pop up now claiming it as mi-17

So.. you seem to say, Gen. Rawat and Wife, preferred a comfortable and quick helicopter ride , over an arduous and winding road up the hills..?

 

[not so dravidian]

Live: seems like it was wdr prithviraj was the one who survived

It's fake news. There is no confirmation whether the helicopter was on fire before It crashed.

[JHARHEADD]

Thank you sir. Can you tell me how you found its origin? Is there a way reverse search videos? Like how we can with pictures?

We may never know their schedules and how tight their travel plans would be.
People do put a lot of trust on a system that they are soo very used to now and then.
be it me or you.
we always have a certain comfort zone we stick to...
doesnt necessarily mean the outcome is rationale all the time.

TN health secretary says that one person with grievous injuries undergoing treatment at MH Wellington.
First to arrive at the scene were 108 ambulance and then army+military police and then TN fire & rescue. The location is in dense forest and the first responders had to walk all the way and carry the injured.

The one person with grievous injuries is reportedly one of the pilots. Some Tamil channels are reporting that he is group captain rank officer.

So this basically confirms that CDS is no more.

Extension of road work is ongoing.. Also due to continuous rain.. There's is possible for landslide.

Bad weather + wrong judgment from pilot then.

It was for everyone from 1 to 13 in order of precedence except the Bharat Ratna awardees

Mi17v5 has crashed a lot... go check.

It was only for PM and President. Defence personnel will still fly in their own equipment.

And Mi-17 crashed a lot? Show me one single fatal crash on Mi-17V5 in India due to a technical issue.

Kateri village

Does flightradar show military helicopters/planes?
