Looks like they need to improve their driving on top of their piloting…

China and Pakistan must mourn the demise of one of their greatest asset in India. This is an incalculable loss, unless he is replaced by an equally "capable" person.

We narrowly survived major embarrassment there:
On that occasion it was pilot error due to poor visibility - they missed the helipad and landed between trees.
Everyone walked away from the crash. You can see in the photo that Kuwaiti officers regrouping right next to the crashed helicopter.
The MI-17's are generally quite reliable. The crash numbers are negligible if you consider the amount of MI-17s that have entered service.

A very common cause for helicopter crashes worldwide. I wonder why pilots do not simply abort the flight and turn back in poor visibility? Can someone explain?
Mr Bipin was a loyal servant of the Pakistani establishment. Indian establishment finally got to him.

No when civilian families are killed? Don't see anyone in India saying its sad..f them
poor Planning by IAF, here, not knowing or bothering to check local weather reports.
Valley fog is confined by local topography and can last for several days in calm conditions during the winter.

Granted it was poor planning but my question is even more fundamental:
why not abort when you can see the fog with your own eyes?

During the journey back to the airbase, an ambulance hit another ambulance in front of it, causing the minor accident. The videos of the accident have surfaced showing cops injured, lying on the road while others transform a casket wrapped in the Indian tricolour to another vehicle.
