How safe are IAF's Russia-made Mi-17 choppers? I Gen Bipin Rawat's tragic death
印度空军的俄制米-17直升机有多安全?比平·拉瓦特将军惨死
After CDS General Bipin Rawat died in a military helicopter crash, Defence expert Retired Major General PK Sehgal said the Mi-17V5 chopper is a very robust aircraft. Sehgal said the IAF helicopter is used for VIP movement in nearly 60 nations across the world. The defence expert added that the twin-engine Russia-made aircraft is 'battle-proven’. According to Sehgal, the Army has been using different variants of it for the last 25 to 30 years. The defence expert further said that only highly qualified pilots fly these aircraft. Wing Commander Prithvi Singh Chauhan was the pilot of the chopper that crashed on Wednesday. Sehgal, however, recalled his experience of flying in the same area in a similar aircraft in 1971. The military chopper, carrying Rawat, & 13 others, crashed in Coonoor in Tamil Nadu's Nilgiris. Rawat was on a visit to Defence Services Staff College in Wellington to address student officers. CDS had taken off from Sulur Airbase for Wellington, was accompanied by his wife Madhulika Rawat. Rawat's DA Brigadier LS Lidder, SO Lt Colonel Harinder Singh were also present in the aircraft.
军用直升机坠毁,比平·拉瓦特在事故中身亡,军事专家退休少将PK塞加尔说米-17V5直升机是一款可靠的直升机。
塞加尔说,这款直升机在全球近60个国家用于接送VIP。这位防务专家补充说,这款俄罗斯制造的双引擎飞机已经经过了“实战验证”。
塞加尔说,在过去的25到30年里,陆军一直在使用不同型号的这种直升机。
这位防务专家进一步说,只有高资质的飞行员才能驾驶这款飞机。
中校Prithvi Singh Chauhan是周三坠毁的直升机上的飞行员。
然而,塞加尔回忆了他在1971年乘坐类似直升机在同一地区飞行的经历。
这架载着拉瓦特和其他13人的军用直升机在泰米尔纳德邦尼尔吉斯的库诺尔坠毁。
拉瓦特正前往威灵顿国防服务参谋学院向学生干部发表讲话。
他的妻子陪同他从苏鲁空军基地飞往威灵顿。
拉瓦特手下的陆军准将LS lider,中将Harinder Singh中校也在直升机上。

Why to blame Russia now , who's said to buy defense Stuff from outside the nation. We don't have that technology? To develop our own defense vehicles etc very sad . Now Nation is suffering great loss RIP Bipin Rawat Ji#
为什么现在要指责俄罗斯,是谁从国外购买武器装备。我们没有那种技术?
研发本土装备吧,非常悲哀,现在国家正遭受严重损失,安息吧

What's the point of all the military technology when it can't evade fog ?
没有应对浓雾的技术,还有什么用?
Ruth Vankal
Simple logic, chopper crashes in bad weather. Also,They are already aware of the condition in Western Ghats, then why do they take unnecessary risks??? Why don't they use some sophisticated IAF aircrafts for that weather and that route?
逻辑很简单,直升机在恶劣天气下坠毁。而且,他们已经知道西高止山脉的情况,为什么还要冒不必要的风险?
这样的恶劣天气,他们为什么不搭乘先进的飞机

RIP - Gen Bipin Rawate & Lost one of the great brave person in our Defence group. On certain behind the scenes of doubtful, might be a strike like EMP/ kind of, which cause to damage all electronic electrical components which within some target range, leads to crash & no traces behind. A fact is, We are lacking & still behind in technology on all sectors against Developed nations (especially on enemy consideration)
安息吧,比平·拉瓦特,我们的国防团队失去了一位伟大勇敢的人。疑点,可能是像电磁脉冲之类的打击,在一定目标范围内损坏所有电子元件,导致坠毁且无痕迹。事实是,与发达国家相比,我们在所有领域的技术都落后

One appeal for indian government that don't hide any information about this incident from the Indian people.we want to know what is the truth?
我呼吁印度政府不要向印度人民隐瞒信息。我们想知道真相是什么

72 billion dollars spent on defense. The third-highest military budget in the world, and for what our top general could not safely fly 50 kilometers. Surely this doesn't happen everywhere. General Bipin Rawat Chopper was flying alone, no support, no backup team. They were flying through the Nilgiri hills, not exactly perfect terrain.
印度军费花了720亿美元,这是世界第三多的军事预算,而我们的高级将领坐飞机都不安全。当然,并不是所有地方都是这样。比平·拉瓦特将军独自飞行,没有后援。他们正在飞越尼尔吉利山脉,地形并不理想。

Modernized helicopter with better radar,safety system will be preferred over MI-17.
配备更先进雷达和安全系统的现代化直升机比米-17好

印度空军买廉价直升机

Russian aircrafts or helicopters are not safe at all. See how many MIG29s and MIG31s are lost during routine sorties.
俄罗斯的战机和直升机根本就不安全。看看在例行飞行中,摔了多少架米格-29和米格-31。
