Tragic Mi-17 Was on CSAR Mission

[Windjammer]

The widely publicised IAF Mi-17 Helicopter which went down on the morning of 27th February was reportedly on a CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) mission to recover those downed IAF pilots. It crashed in Budgam after just ten minutes into flight from Srinagar.Although it's now widely believed that the helicopter was a victim of fratricide as panicked Indian ground defences tried to shoot at attacking PAF aircrafts. The question is what was it doing flying in middle of an on going operation. It's now emerged that the Mi-17 was sent out to recover some IAF pilots that had bailed out after being shot down by PAF fighters over the LOC.

Thanks !! Slowly, but surely the veil will move back, and we will be blessed with the beautiful site of a shot down Su30MKI that was done by a JF17. Slowly, but surely!

It was obvious that the helicopter was on a CSAR mission, nothing else made sense for its presence of where it was.

I have my popcorn ready for the "training" crash or "technical crash" of a Su30MKI !!!

Is it normal to have 6 people in SAR choppers ..i thought 2-3 would be enough

Two are pilots, and you don't expect one person to tend to others who maybe injured.

I was part of an SAR/CSAR unit in the RNoAF. We typically had a crew of 5-8 medics and rescuers on hand during operations.

It's normal. You need people trained in rescue ops and qualified medics, and during CSAR operations, security too. Sometimes the security and medics would be the same person, such as when we flew with special operations forces who are trained in both medical procedures and obviously security operations. I carried an HK417 for security. They'd still often require dedicated rescuers though, since that's a whole different set of skills.

Best explanation of the accident so far. One more thing is sure, there were looking for few pilots, not one.

Such BS. The chopper crashed 100Km away from the skirmish.

And there were no medical personnel inside the helicopter.

Yup, you had a whole month to make up a diary of your habitual excuses full of BS.

Hasn't our General already said you are masters at this?

The helicopter crash site was far, far, far away from the kind of narrative you want to create.

Sell your BS to people who will believe it. Oops, that's here. My bad.

Listen retard, your Generals are designed to feed you the diet you creatures need to survive on.
You shot down your own helicopter in Budgam.....but do you know where it was heading to.
Or do you have helicopters stationed along the LOC.

I have my popcorn ready for the "training" crash or "technical crash" of a Su30MKI !!!

they already announced on a news channel but that video is now buried under the misdirected tags or removed,
it contained few second news by Indian channel clearly stating and repeating and repeating that an SU 30 has crashed due to Technical reasons. Technical reasons were repeated few times.
the news was aired as it appeared Pakistan was going to share news about shooting down second IAF jet and then died out as Pakistan didn't make make it official and retracted back to having only one pilot IAF pilot.

Such BS. The chopper crashed 100Km away from the skirmish.

I see
then I wonder what were they doing in the time when PAF was pounding IAF

Who knows the mig 27 crash today was actually the debri of Su 30.
