Earlier in afghanistan, brownouts became a serious danger and triggered many helicopter crashes. US military later implemented a system that prevents these tragic incidents
We have lost our fair share of helicopters to the foggy weather conditions, few years ago death of a hi-profile politician Hüseyin Yazıcıoğlu on a similiar incident have caused a lot of public attention aswell.
maybe we can procure the same systems for our UH-60 Blackhawks or develop some, if feasible
An old, strategypage article about the system.

What a douche-bag you are! Instead of condoling the deaths of the soldiers of the Turkish Army you are more interested in the type of chopper and made by whom!
RIP to the brave soldiers.

It was an army AS532 Cougar I believe :/ cause of crash was technical failure
There was another crash in Afghanistan involving a Turkish Army S70 Blackhawk before that but nobody died, i can't remember anymore details though
