A short video, made by Asif Mughal and captured an incredible moment of Indian military helicopter dangerous landing, is reached one million views.

The 25-second video, which was posted on the TikTok social media app, shows the moment of a Mi-8 medium twin-turbine helicopter of Indian Air Force took down a tent structure during landing.

A piece of tent took off and began to fly towards the helicopter, the Mi-8 crew tried to get away from the collision, but a piece of tent hit the main rotor. After the collision, the helicopter quickly landed.

The entire episode didn’t appear to cause any injuries from the looks of it.

O bahi Mi-8 ha!! Where does it looks Mi 17 to you? Check the tail rotar! On Mi-17 it is on left side!

That is a close shave. The tent could have covered the cockpit or got stuck in any of the two rotors.
