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

[fire starter]

Hopefully from now onwards there will be accountability after every crash. A serious change is required in Maintanence procedures.

4 dead 3 critical

Gen Rawat was Spear Heading the important Reforms which would have changed the world war era fighting Practices despite facing huge opposition from IAF and IN.

We have always Lost leaders at such important Junction since our Independence,

Wait what? When is he dead? Dude please stop making rumors. You are only fueling it

Shiv aroor said 11 dead

Yes. For a VIP sortie you would want to avoid any snags vis-a-vis technical and logistic problems. And considering that mi 17 is dual engine and can carry more load but conoor is at 6000+ feet above mean sea level. You can reduce fuel loads to take more passengers if the sortie leg is shorter.

Many cheetah and chetak crashes where the remains were engulfed in fire were due to fuel spillage. The fuel tank bursts open due to impact.

Some local news was reporting that IAF ignored local reports about weather, any idea about that?

so many bullas are laughing and are happy,

Bullas? Even Dindus as well.

Seems like an official announcement is about to come

If announcement is to be made in Parliament by raksha mantri we all know what this suggests. Looking at the debris it seems the Heptor is totally destroyed. Let us pray for the speedy recovery of the survivors.

Most probably fake accounts or commies, either way archive it if you can. Will drag these maggots to the court if required.

Different portals saying different things.
4 were rescued so maybe some lost life while being rushed to hospital.

ANY NEWS ??

Panag seems to have Tweeted below ... .. I hope he is wrong

Idiotic assessment. No one takes it easy when it comes to maintenance neither training.

You proved the point again. It's easy to comment from outside. Every VIP sortie is given utmost attention.

Your comments are disrespectful to the technicians who start working on the chopper since 24 hrs prior and the pilots who prepare for the sortie with their years of training and experience behind them, yet still nervous.

You idiot, do away with these kind of discussions. This forum is definitely not for you. And the ALHs crashed due to hydraulic failures. They managed to crash land because of the redundancies and the pilots skill. It takes approx 4 cr rupees to make a pilot(not my assessment, it's official). And stupid people with monkey brains like you feel elated to comment on such topics.

One word - Gaandu @FalconSlayers

Have you ever seen the hands of a technician. They become rough and scarred due to years of handling equipment. They cut and bleed. Have you ever seen a pilot trainee sitting in his chair practising flying in the night so that the 45 mins sortie planned next day wouldn't go to waste. People do work hard and bear that responsibility unlike you asshole.

i am ignorant about these things , but the article @FalconSlayers quoted does sounds alarming

2011 to 2017 , the three Services have lost over 50 aircraft and 22 helicopters have been lost in crashes, in which at least 85 people have been killed.

Some local news was reporting that IAF ignored local reports about weather, any idea about that?

IAF gets weather updates from Indian Met Observatiories as well as its own establishments. It won't depend on local reports. They would be checking in weather from many miles inbound.

The report says it crashed immediately after take off. If bad weather is reported, the pilot wouldn't take off or either change the route.

Aren't the fuel tanks self sealing incase of leaks

Rumor. Please don't believe anything unless it comes officially from govt or army.

General Panag twitted RIP Bipin Rawat. Very sad. Let us believe it and hope for Miracle.
