Pak Army Aviation helicopter hard landing under fire

[Imran Khan]

PTV News showed interview of a Pakistan Army helicopter pilot. The injured pilot Major Saqib interviewed in Combined Military Hospital (CMH) informed the news channel that after receiving an order around 9:15 AM their helicopter departed from Peshawar Air Base to recover casualties/injured persons from Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Camp Badaber that was attacked by terrorists in the morning today. The helicopter was able to land at Camp Badaber but after takeoff its tail section/tail rotor received bullet hits from the ground. The helicopter went into spin and crashed/crash landed. The pilot said that he shut down engine as safety procedure to prevent helicopter from catching fire and also removed unconscious co-pilot from the crashed helicopter.

our stupid forces sometime park AWACS in front of terrorists and sometime P-3Cs to bomb them and if in any case terrorists attack a facility where there is no air assets our brave forces by themselves help taliban and send something to hit it ? what more called stupidity ?????????

Sir aur helicopter kis din istemal karnay kayliye liye thay?

Army helicopter crash lands during rescue

PESHAWAR: One of the three Pakistan Army transport helicopters that rescued victims of the attack on the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Badaber Camp crash landed here on Friday.

Though there were rumours that the helicopter was hit by the terrorists during the takeoff from the airbase, security officials and Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asim Salim Bajwa denied these reports.

They said it was a transport helicopter that developed a technical fault and crash landed before the take-off. According to security officials, the pilot, co-pilot and other staff in the helicopter remained unhurt. The helicopter, however, was damaged.

Sir the Taliban attacked with 14 attackers, the largest assault ever planned. Their press releases indicate they were looking for at least 300 kills with this operation. Limiting them to 30m of their breach and keeping the casualty to 29 is nothing short of a miracle in my opinion.

it would be nice if the heli was guarded by Cobra

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

The deployment of helicopter was correct however , this particular copter does not have machine gun inside it

Most likely reparable, engine appears to be not damaged

Exactly, we lost many lives. But if someone destroy your helicopter with ak47 rifle then it is physiological loss and shame.
