Speculation and discussing or debating is one thing, conclusively proving something is which irks me!

This heli wasn't on flood relief duty.
The latest victims were part of an army medical team flying from Chaklala airport, Rawalpindi with medicines and other relief supplies for those affected by monsoon floods in Gilgit.
Five majors were among 12 people killed when an army helicopter crashed in bad weather while on a flood relief mission in Mansehra Thursday night. There were no survivors.
it wasnt? Then what is the media BS about?
Hmmm...media b aywien bakwas kerna shuru ker day ti hai...Very misleading indeed esp:It was going to Gilgit for medevac of a PA soldier.

you might know the platform is acknowledged by the Americans as being reliable and we were funded through CSF to procure them from other countries. flying a helicopter itself in best of conditions is an occupational hazzard.Not just inclement weather Sir, the terrain is very difficult and has lots of unpredictably turbulent air currents in the steep valleys and rock outcroppings even when the weather seems fine.
maybe bad weather or failure of critical component otherwise it's a reliable helicopter.
Are these bought from Ukraine or Russia ?
mother nature always wins when it lashes out at our feeble technology. Mi17 is a robust and established platform. people without knowledge of the helicopter and anally stringent procedures of maintaining military copters are making comments as if they know everything.
these machines are being used over the clock in very challenging conditions. pumas are handful and are not used much and relegated .. if they are not flying they cant crash.Well, sir the stats speak for themselves .This is the second crash this year .We have an Mi 17 crash almost every couple of years .I think out of the original 50 we lost about 9 to crashes that's almost 20% of the fleet in PA. Operating any aircraft with such a high attrition rate is unjustifiable.Compared to the Pumas which also operate in large numbers and in the same conditions ( mother nature) , the mi 17s are turning out to be Flying coffins.

Initial reports suggest it was a CFIT due to poor visibility.

due to a big loss like this were an entire AMC unit is wiped out .. there will be a stringent inquiry to find out the cause, .. it just cant be brushed under the rug
