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

There is the 'sure to amuse' Pakistani helicopter pictured above.

This speaks of the ALH's safety and capabilities.

It would be Reliability which you will question. Safety and Capabilities are both in good shape.

Unfortunate incident. May they rest in peace.

A proper and through investigation should be done and identify the root cause. If it comes out as an error with the DHRUV helicopter I am fine with it. We should take it as an opportunity to fix such issues and come up with better versions. But an investigation should happen no guess work and blame game should happen vice versa if it pilot or other maintenance error it should also come out in open and necessary action should be taken to rectify.

Needless to say it is a blow to the DHRUV marketing team atleast till the time the truth comes out after investigation. BTW does anyone know the crash count of DHRUV on Indian soil?

3 or 4 dhruv crash incidents took place in India since 2005... the last 1 was in 2012, a BSF chopper which was in some kind of test flight.... a interesting point is survivors exists in almost half of all the dhruv crashes reported till date

Rest in peace!

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

There is nothing like a uncrashable helicopter .

True. But this is India's first oversea sale of the chopper. So anything that happen to this one will get magnified. I'm glad Indian media do not immediately point fingers at the users.

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.

You don't need to know all this to comment on Indian assembling skills.

The ALH is in use in 9 countries around the world, last time it was pilot error that's all one can say until a full and proper report is out. But one needs only remember the sh!t that came out the last time one of Ecuador's ALHs crashed and the BS that was spouted- Pak media even tried to make out that the Ecuadorians were trying to return the ALHs to HAL which turned out to be utter baloney.

 

[BATMAN]

Yes you do.

 

[Screambowl]

yes, because assembling is different than developing.

Oh god, how many times are you people going to post the same picture over and over again.

Most of it has been debunked!
