Ecuador cancels order for Indian choppers after crashes

[Guynextdoor2]

To be fair, India also supplied couple of Dhruv to Nepal, even one of their has crashed,

To be fair IA operates 100s and came back for 100s more. IAF or IA have never stepped away from criticizing equipment if they were not happy (think LCA, Arjun)- ALH, LCH are among the lest controversial. IA is completely satisfied with the helos and has number requirements that'll take decades to fulfill.

But your customers are unsatisfied.
If you produce scrap equipment then you will loose more customers in future. Try to understand me you are risking life of many pilots and civilians by producing 3rd quality defence equipment. You can risk lives of your people not foreigners.

ALH been flying for more than 20 years now and prime customer IA is completely satisfied. Truly dissatisfied are those soldiers of a particular country whose tanks spontaneously combusted

Warm blooded tanks they are.

Which customer? The IA? The IAF? The ICG? The IN? ONGC? Geological Survey of India? The BSF? The Maldives Self Defence Force? The Nepalese army? Or just one (the Ecuadorian Air Force) who have a a long history of air crashes and poor standards?



Do not make such absurd declarative statements like "you are risking the life of many pilots" without producing any empirical evidence to support your idiocy.


How unsafe can a aircraft be if both pilots WALKED AWAY from such a crash:

And for your information this crash during an air show by the Ecuadorian Air Force was found to be PILOT ERROR before you get any ideas.



If you wish to continue spewing nonsense expect to have your half truths and lies exposed.

To be fair, India also supplied couple of Dhruv to Nepal, even one of their has crashed,

Ummm when did a Nepalese ALH crash exactly? Care to provide some proof?

There have been no significant problems in the fleets deployed with IA and IAF, they are containing to place orders.

Incidents and accidents[edit]

• In November 2005, a Dhruv crash-landed in Andhra Pradesh, causing the entire fleet to be grounded; the subsequent probe found a fault with the helicopter's tail rotor blades, which has since been corrected.[23][24]
• On 2 February 2007, during rehearsals prior to Aero India, a HAL Dhruv of the Sarang helicopter display team of the Indian Air Force crashed, killing co-pilot Squadron Leader Priye Sharma and injuring the pilot Wing Commander Vikas Jetley.[122]After being in a coma for almost four years, Vikas Jetley died in January 2011.[123] The helicopter team continued to perform in the air show.[124]
  
• In February 2010, an Indian Air Force Dhruv was forced to make a crash landing after suffering a loss of power while rehearsing for the "Vayu Shakti" air show; both pilots survived.[23]
• On 14 December 2010, a Dhruv crashed in Jammu injuring all 9 personnel on board.[126]
• On 22 December 2010, a Dhruv crashed in Leh injuring both pilots.[126]
• On 21 April 2011, four army personnel were killed when a Dhruv crashed in north Sikkim. Initial reports pointed to weather as the cause, but a court of inquiry was established to ascertain the exact cause.[127]
• On 19 October 2011, an Indian Border Security Force (BSF) Dhruv (VT-BSH) crashed in north-east India, resulting in the deaths of the three crew on board. [128] The cause of the crash was found to be pilot error due to spatial disorientation.[129]
• On 15 January 2012, a BSF Dhruv (VT-BSN) crashed on the runway at Raipur airport during a test flight, there were no deaths but all five of the crew onboard were injured.[130] Investigation by DGCA has concluded that the crash was caused by pilot error.[131] Inadequacies in training of flight crew had been identified.
• On 5 April 2012, a Dhruv was heavily damaged by Maoists who fired upon the helicopter [132]
• On 13 May 2013, a Dhruv crashed in Siachen injuring the pilot and co-pilot [133]
• On 19 December 2013, a Dhruv armed with weapons made an emergency landing in Karnataka.[134]
• On 25 July 2014, an Indian Air Force Dhruv crashed near Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh, India. All seven on board were killed. It had been tracked from the ATC of a Delhi air force station until contact with the aircraft was suddenly lost. A mayday call from the pilots appeared to highlight a mechanical failure as the cause. The IAF ordered a court of inquiry to establish the cause of the crash.[137]
• On 11 February 2015, an Indian Army Dhruv crashed in Jammu&Kashmir, killing 2 crew members.[139]

A threat to human life nothing else.
