Notify PAF Aircraft Crashes

[Jango]

No way that can be called an emergency landing, this was a complete crash.

Very heavy impact. It takes some big impact to throw off the engine like that and have the tail boom separated...skids also buckled...hard impact i'd say.

@fatman17 @Oscar @mafiya - Do you guys think that something could be salvaged from these machines or are they a completely lost cause ?

Maybe the rocket launcher assembly, avionics, cockpit instruments...maybe some skin panels...

BTW, if you look below, just above the skid (or at least where it should be!), you can see a yellow box type thing.

The bullets are stored in that place in boxes...the avionics bay can also be reached from there. The casing is open, indicating, that the bullets were taken out and maybe the avionics bay was tinkered with.

Surely if that were true then there must be significant ground markings to substantiate that ? My guess is that it really was a crash-landing gone horribly bad with the Cobra being imbalanced towards the end !

considering that they bailed out eventually means they it did not go as planned and the chopper just came in by itself.
That being said, it is still relatively quite intact when it comes to chopper crashes and suggests a slower impact.

Good to know pilots are safe and that they piloted it away from the buildings/populated areas.

Bhai saheban. Please do not disturb this thread unless there is a genuine need to use it. Each time I see it highlighted, I open it with a bit of trepidation.

Please note that the title of the thread is - NOTIFY PAF aircraft crashes. Notify is the key word here.
