Italian Navy multi-purpose helicopter crashes while landing on the destroyer deck

The Italian naval forces lost the AgustaWestland SH.101 Merlin multi-purpose helicopter, which crashed while landing on board the destroyer Caio Duillio. According to Italian media, the rotorcraft crashed to the deck for an unknown reason.

According to available information, the helicopter crashed during a training flight in the dark. The car landed on the deck of the ship, however, for an undetermined reason, it tipped and fell to the deck on the starboard side. According to the source, the people on board the 6 were not injured, but were sent just in case to the destroyer infirmary. According to other sources, three of those on board the helicopter were injured. The helicopter itself was flooded with fire foam to prevent fire and is not subject to recovery. There are also damage to the deck of the ship.

According to one of the eyewitnesses, the cause of the helicopter crash could be a strong gust of wind that threw the car onto the deck.

The Italian Ministry of Defense confirmed the abnormal landing of the EH-101 (AW101) helicopter on the deck of the Caio Duilio destroyer, but declined to comment on the incident, saying that an investigation is needed to determine the cause of the helicopter crash.

AgustaWestland SH.101 - the main Italian helicopter fleet. The ship and shore-based machine is available in two versions: anti-submarine and multi-purpose.

I flew to red! And here is the result ....

No one is safe from this. Of course, I understood the joke, but to laugh at the failures of the enemy is somehow low. If an enemy with a sword comes to you, you need to beat him, and not wait for the weather by the sea ... This may not help

[Prisoner]

While the first video watched, it was misleading all over. Already the wife was surprised that he heels me here and there.

[mvg]

The first video is super profile. There is simply nothing to argue.

[Zoomlion]

I had similar wipers "shell-shocked" on Zila 130

Now the helicopter crew will be forced to buy a new one for their money, and repair the destroyer at their own expense? ??

You, your stupidity is not shocking? Read your comments, is this what really matches the site? In my memory, enter the top three, but not the last.

Your merit in this is not, since you are constantly trying to spit on Russian equipment, not even knowing the principles of its work. Your monosyllables answer about this. And I must admit - the VO site has long lost its position, according to illiterate comments and the same articles.

mvg (Maxim), another opus of a "specialist"! Shown complete irresponsibility, carelessness simply stupidity of Italians! There are standards and a minimum of helicopter landing, which must not be violated. As a result, the result is obvious - helicopter loss, according to the topic of this article.
You write crap here, "arranging a sword dance" just to get likes!

What the hell!

And I would be banned for this term again! But the Mudurdermotors apparently have their own double standards!

Hasn't Russia been "guilty" of this incident yet? The British and Americans would blame Russia outright and explain that the accident was due to the intervention of Russian horse divers.

The accident occurred due to the intervention of Russian equestrian divers.

Very funny joke (no).

Sorry for the bird!

[Aristarkh Lyudvigovich]

Italians have beautiful frigates, FREMM Marina Militare

[icant007]

Italian design)))

[dmmyak40]

The Italians always had excellent ships: both cruisers and battleships were super!

[Mavrikiy]

One leader "Tashkent" - "blue cruiser" was worth what.

[dmmyak40]

And the Italian national football team - "Squadra Azzurra" - "blue squadron"!

[mvg]

Only warbat did not know how. All the oincores in WWII are lost stupidly.

[Dmitry Potapov]

Sarcasm in this case is inappropriate, this is not a military loss, but no one is safe from an accident, especially since, thank God, we are not at war with anyone.

One of the few adequate comments. I support!

[Nycomed]

Everyone is alive and Glory to God! And new hardware will be made.

[Ros 56]

It’s the GDP that is to blame, but they are being blown away.

[loki565]

Maybe also hooked on the fence.

[aiden]

I guess it was like that

It's much simpler. They just laid you down quickly. Perhaps I will be banned if some "well-wisher" snitches the mods. We are waiting, sir, already used to their woodpeckerism.

[Vladimir_2U]

And that immediately crashed, it lies in one piece, and almost not dented !.

[Stas157]

The main thing is no one was hurt.
