Three Brazilian army crew members had a lucky escape when their Eurocopter AS550 Fennec helicopter crashed in Nova Friburgo on 20 January.

Media reports suggest that the mishap occurred when the single-engined aircraft was caught by a gust of wind while hovering a few feet above the ground before landing. One of 19 AS550s in Brazilian army service, it sustained substantial damage to its main rotor and Turbomecca Arriel 1D engine as it came to a rest on its side against a mound of earth.

This deal show Pakistan army desperation for attack helicopter. Chinese establish license production of this helicopter. So, part and maintenance won't be issue. But still it can not replace attack helicopter.

40-80 Fennec (Good planning) good multi purpose chopper
MI-35 (??) Heavy Armored Choice, well proven machine
