The Indian Air Force Chinook Helicopter (I) operates normally even when the US Army has based on the entire iconic helicopter fleet behind the sample engine fire, people who are familiar with the development said on Wednesday. “IAF Chinook operates as before development in the US. We have not faced any problems, “said one of the people quoted above, asking not to be named. IAF operates the 15 Chinook fleet, inaugurated during 2019-2020. The foundation of the US Army Chinook Fleet came when repairing the engine and repair of helicopters was ongoing, said other officials.
IAF has not issued an official statement about development but HT already knows that the Air Force is likely to look for details from the US Army about the foundation of its hardworking. Not infrequently for operators to the land fleet or helicopter after the incident related to safety.

The fact that IAF continues to fly his chinooks implies that technical problems that affect the American fleet are not relevant to the IAF fleet. However, what is certain is that IAF will be closely related to producers and oversee the progress of improvement, “he said. Even if in the next stage, the Chinook IAF fleet must be examined, it will not be available will not affect the operation because the Air Force has a very large and capable MI-17 fleet that will take over the task, Bahadur added.
IAF’s Chinooks set a record in April this year by flying the longest non-stop helicopter in India-910 km in 7.5 hours-with an operational training task that required him to fly from Chandigarh to Jorhat. The Chinook helicopter can bring the new M777 Ultra-Ringan Howitzer as an unreasonable burden for fast spread in high altitude in Ladakh and northeast. The main role of the helicopter includes the transfer of artillery, supply of battlefield and troop transportation.
