Mi-17 Crash

All 12 on Board Killed in Pakistan Army Mi-17 Crash

A PAKISTAN Army Aviation Corps Mi-17 crashed this evening, August 6, in the Rani Bat area of Koh-e-Bhaingra hill, 40 miles (65km) northwest of the town of Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, northwestern Pakistan, killing all 12 Army personnel on board. The helicopter was operating an air ambulance flight and carrying an Army medical team, including doctors and paramedics, in addition to the crew.

The crash may have been caused by bad weather as it flew over mountains while en route to Gilgit from Rawalpindi to pick up a critically ill soldier. The helicopter, which was also carrying flood relief supplies and medicines, caught fire after the crash and continued to burn late into the evening. The crash site is in an hilly area that is not easily accessible.

Only a few hours earlier, a Pakistan Air Force Mi-17 was also involved in an accident when it came down in the flood-hit Chitral district, although no serious injuries were reported. The helicopter is reported to have hit a tree during take-off in the Mastuj area while taking part in flood relief operations, but was believed not to have been seriously damaged and made an emergency landing. It had been rescuing 13 people and also evacuating a dead body. AFD-Dave Allport

Time to think slowly get rid of these flying coffins they were best geli of their time now time suggest to move own alone this year 5 crashes hope we slowly replace atleast what helicopters are destroyed dont buy anymore heli of MI 17

Sign a project with china for Z 18 or any other medium lift helicopter Co production

mi17 is still a very reliable platform. the most widely used med transport helo in the world.

accidents will happen with every type of aircraft or helo. an F16 crashed in Germany yesterday, it dosnt make the F16 a bad aircraft.

Mi 17 being one of the most reliable platforms are here to stay for some time. This is the the best and the cheapest options that meet our need and fulfill our demand from this platform. THE BEST thing that can happen is to get a few more upgraded/modern Mi 17s and better up gradation/maintenance of the existing fleet.
We cannot go and get a joint production agreement for everything out there. Do not have the money or the need for it. The limited number of the helicopter required will make any in house production look dumb and will be TOO expensive. A few days back similar wishes were being made for Z-10, before that the Z-20!! WE CANNOT GO AND START PRODUCTION OF EVERYTHING THAT FLIES. PAA and PAF have there own priorities and will act accordingly to them. For now, Mi 17 will stay and be the medium lift helicopter platform for our military.

They can replace Mi-17 slowly by introducing alternative latest transport choppers for squadron 1 or 2
