RIP a sad incident indeed . But this accident should not pose questions on HAL Dhruv as it already has proved herself in some of the most challenging & deadliest environment .

 

[Guynextdoor2]

This should be lesson learned for buying sub standard Indian military hardware.

you are not an engineer, you don't know A of aerospace, doesn't know about embedded circuits, jet propulsion and you talk as if you are the only noble laureate in the world.

Done trolling, now take ur A somewhere else

And who the hell are you to judge that?

Some kind of prophet with supernatural powers and knowledge to know how and why the crash happened without any kind of inquiry ?

The Dhruv has a good safety record FYI.

Let's nip this sh!t in the bud before it gets out of control. The ALH fleet very recently clocked up 10,000 flight hours:


ALH Dhruv Clocks 1,00,000 Flying Hours, Boosts Indigenous Development Programmes

Which is a very impressive feat for any a/c. Even whilst clocking up 10,000 flight hours (in some of the harshest conditions imaginable) very few have crashed and even fewer fatalities have been occurred as a result.


The last Ecuadorian crash with a ALH was categorically ruled to be pilot error:

Incidentally, this "sub-standard" hardware allowed both crew to WALK AWAY from this horrific crash:

Says a lot for the safety features of the ALH.




And these "sub-standard" hardware are being pushed to these limits daily with no real issues:

This speaks of the ALH's safety and capabilities.

That's right. They should buy Pakistani helicopters, with their unmatched technology -

and there is nothing like "sure to crash' heli like dhruv

Helicopter from every part of the world crashes and takes lives . Nothing new .

There is nothing like a uncrashable helicopter .

Unfortunate to say the least. The first crash was deemed to be pilot error. I wonder what the cause will be this time.

Most accidents these days are due to pilot error- the machines themselves are so hi-tech that they rarely cause such catastrophic events.
