The chopper on which CDS Late Gen Rawat and his wife crashed in was a Russian Mil Mi-17V chopper and not a ALH as shown in the video. Bisbo regrets the error.

Hats off to you man.. I lost my brother-in-law to a similar IAF accident on an old fighter jet which should have decommissioned decades back.

[@sumeshkroy]

Just one correction: CDS General Bipin Sir was travelling in MI17V5 on that day and considering its past record it's one of best chopper in out arsenal with dual engine but that day was something which we never wanted...💐💐💐

Hello from the USA! I have nothing but respect for your guys' military, and for these badasses that stare death in the face on a daily basis - knowing very well that each sortie could be their last. I pray for your military's success and safety. Have a good one friends :)

Not only Mig 21 needs to be retired , but also Mirage, Mig 29, Jaguar are also getting old, outdated and have to be retired 😢 😞

[@naanuswaroop]

Fantastic animation... Riveting story-telling... 👌

[@SurajV320]

An informative and entertaining watch, as always. That said, the plural of aircraft is ‘aircraft’. Also, kilonewtons (kN) is usually used as a unit to measure thrust of jet engines, not normally to measure the aircraft’s weight. Finally, jets such as these don’t burn petrol, but a variation of Jet A-1 (closely related to kerosene). Cheers!
