Watch: Air Force Chopper Airlifts Helicopter Near Amarnath Shrine

The operation could allow a very little margin of error since a heavy load, the As-350 helicopter, was attached to the air force's Mi-17V5 helicopter.


The chopper manoeuvered through the valley that lies in the vicinity of the holy Amarnath shrine.


New Delhi: An stranded civilian helicopter in Jammu and Kashmir was successfully rescued from the Panchtarni helipad by an Indian Air Force Mi-17 V5 helicopter in a difficult underslung maneuver at 11,500 feet.

The Indian Air Force tweeted a stunning image of a helicopter airlifting a helicopter in which the Mi-17 transport helicopter is seen hoisting the damaged helicopter off the helipad and navigating across the valley near the revered Amarnath temple.

Due to the As-350 helicopter being linked to the air force chopper as a large cargo, the procedure could only have a very little margin for error.

The action was completed successfully as the Mi-17 maneuvered over treacherous slopes on either side.

According to the Indian Air Force, the crew demonstrated impeccable planning, meticulous preparation, and superb flying abilities.

After being obstructed by the damaged helicopter, the Panchtarni helipad is finally free to transport pilgrims. The air force transported it by airlift to the Neelgrar helipad.

On July 1, the annual Amarnath Yatra began. On August 31, the 62-day trip will come to an end. Baltal and Pahalgam are two of the pilgrims' traditional itineraries.

When a private helicopter crashed at the 11,500-foot Kedarnath helipad in 2019, the air force performed a similar operation there using two Mi-17 V5 aircraft.

The Mi-17 V5 is the backbone of the air force's important operations, whether it is necessary to carry troops to a battlefield or evacuate trapped civilians.
