engine compartment seems salvageable ... so at least there's that

I'm not sure about that... there should be some stress on the transmission that is undeniable but how much of the impact force was carried through. I don't knowYou do not know anything about the engine compartment from that picture.
There is evidence that the rotor blades struck the ground and came to an abrupt halt at some point....this itself serves to absolutely RUIN the transmission, and the interlinked engine shafts.

since rotors absorbed some of the force by breaking
but yeah something might have gone wrong, a cog or two might have been broken
I don't have x-ray vision I don't know if they were able to salvage the engine(s) from that or not, to me it seems probable

no... do you?No, they were not able to salvage the engine from that.
I don't think you have an engineering background....am I correct?
no... do you?
besides may I ask how did you acquire that information? that they were not?
Yes I do, and specifically in this field.
As for the information about the engine, we all work on deductive reasoning. Circumstantial evidence.
1- The final cause of the crash was attributed to engine failure and insufficient training on part of the pilot. The first impact (due to rapid descent) and subsequent coning of the rotor blades in evidence of the fact. And this was also stated by Russian officials.
2- After initial impact, pilot tries to take off ASAP as is SOP and tries to gain forward motion first before attempting OEI takeoff. But IMO he applies too much pitch early on without enough collective, gets caught up in the swell and then sadly crashes. (This is what I infer from the video).
3- The engine was then taken apart and examined for signs of failure, fatigue, stresses, cracks and such. You do not put back a failed engine or even a working engine from such a catastrophic crash. The internal transmission and also the shaft mechanisms would be torn to shreds (as is seen in the video regarding the tail boom, look at how it practically explodes!).
Whats your opinion about Door Guns for the Pakistani Mi-8 and Mi-17 ?
huh... thanks for the infoYes I do, and specifically in this field.
