Indian Air Force almost wrecked its expensive Apache helicopter as the chopper made an emergency landing in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhind on Monday.

Confirming the development in a Tweet, IAF said that there was no casualty.

The chopper was on a normal routine training mission. The pilot did the Precautionary landing near Bhind.

“Due to the presence of mind of the pilot, a major accident was averted,” officials concluded.

The landing took place at around 8.45 am, the IAF spokesperson said. The aircraft is being currently examined. The helicopter will be flown out shortly.

“An Apache AH-64 helicopter of the IAF carried out a precautionary landing near Bhind, during routine operational training. All crew and the aircraft are safe. The rectification party has reached the site,” the Indian Air Force said in a tweet.

The AH-64 Apache is the world’s most advanced multi-role combat helicopter. The IAF has a fleet of 22 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters.
