A military helicopter crashed in southern Afghanistan: five ISAF servicemen killed

In the south of Afghanistan, a military helicopter crashed. Five members of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan (ISAF) were aboard. This was reported by the press service of the North Atlantic Alliance, without specifying the circumstances of the crash.

"The causes of the incident are currently being investigated. According to preliminary data, there was no militant activity in the area of ​​the incident," the statement said.

It does not specify which military personnel of which countries died, ITAR-TASS said.

The United States and other NATO countries are planning to withdraw their troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014, leaving only limited contingents there to assist the army and security services of that country.

In the spring of this year - a few months ahead of schedule - the ISAF should begin to perform support functions, transferring command of the combat operations of the national Afghan army.

      Yes Yes.
      In fact, somehow, no one drives them there with a stick. The volunteers themselves are recorded to take up arms and shoot Afghan villages from the air for money.
      But for some reason, I don’t feel sorry for peaceful peasants, no one remembers that they also have families and children who are shot by these "crap-crazers" who are worthless.

    Is it not from this helicopter that it crashed staged a night shooting range for the Afghans? The video skipped here. If so - it’s even fair. IMHO.
