Not Learning From Past Errors! Pilot Mistake Behind Mi-17 V5
Helicopter Crash That Killed India’s Top Military Official?
India’s Chief of Defence Staff, his wife, and 11 others died
in a helicopter crash in southern India’s Tamil Nadu state on December 8. The Mi-17
V-5 is a military transport variant of the Mi-8/17 helicopter family.
Questions are being raised that why was the helicopter flying
at such a low altitude? Did the pilot have any weather alerts from Air Traffic
Control or Army Control?
The helicopter crash of the then Chief Minister of Andhra
Pradesh YS Rajasekhar Reddy took place in the mountainous area of Kurnool.
The weather was bad then, yet the pilot was pressured to fly. No lessons have
been learned from the accidents of the past.
To Bolster F-22 Raptors, F-35 Fighters, Is US Developing
‘Highly Classified’ Drones To Checkmate China?
The US Air Force is counting on two highly secretive unmanned
aerial systems or drones to take on its arch-rival China in any future military
conflict.
They’re both unmanned air combat vehicles, or unmanned
platforms designed to fly alongside fighter jets such as the Next Generation
Air Dominance fighter (NGad), the F-22, or the F-35. On the other side, they
can operate with bombers such as the B-21.
US may commit itself to a Loyal Wingman program, which
involves a drone that uses artificial intelligence to operate beside piloted
aircraft and complete tasks that are too unsafe for fighter pilots.
US is also working on Skyborg, an autonomous aircraft pairing
framework that will allow the US Air Force to posture, create, and maintain
mission sorties at a fast enough rate to produce and sustain combat mass in
contested areas.
