IAF chopper topples during training sortie

[Windjammer]

A Chetak helicopter of the Indian Air Force toppled while making an emergency landing during a training sortie from Bamrauli near Allahabad today. Both the pilots are safe.

The chopper toppled when the pilots tried a forced landing after it developed a technical snag, sources in IAF said.

The IAF has ordered a court of inquiry (COI) to ascertain the cause of the accident. The sources said the aircraft toppled while the pilots tried to force land it on an uneven field. The helicopter was on a routine training sortie from Bamrauli.

surviving ANY chopper crash is lucky. its a very bad tin box when its out of control - the spin, the blades, the lack of "ejection" any ways and the low altitude (which prevents a parachute deployment) all of them create a perfect storm.

wow indian equipment and their armed forces are really useless

one of the worst armed forces in the world. i would rate them on par with saudis

Since you have shared your intellectual post...may i dare to ask why at par with saudis and not ethopia??...

In helicopter department, January 2012 onwards Indian military saw 13 write offs & 5 damaged whereas Pakistan whose helo fleet despite being atleast 1.8x smaller saw 9 write offs & 5 damaged in same period i.e. a crash ratio of 1.44:1 which means in this department too, Pakistan crash rate is much worse.

And zero warships and submarines for Pakistan. You missed the complete data while you were twisting stats to feel good

Still INS Sindhurashak is above all.
A curious case of self exploding submarine

Chetak's crash reminds me this

PNS Mehran is a curious case of exploding Orions.

Anyways that pic reminds me of a PAA Bell 412 crash last year:
