The contra rotating rotors have big advantage over main rotor and tail rotor configuration. The advancing blades give the lift but the retreating blades do not. In a contra rotating configuration, atleast one set of retreating blades provide lift. Plus the engine thurst is not diverted to power up the tail rotor. A contrarotaing configuration has 10-15% advantage in terms of Thrust, speed and lift.May be an out of query. So KA226 will be safer to operate over Himalayas than our LUH? KA226 is twin engined with Contra rotating rotors while LUH is a conventional aircraft,but with single engine.
My thinking is that Gen. Naravane will be next CDS and Lt.Gen YK Joshi will be next Chief of Army Staff. There is no provision to appoint an already retired person for such a Job. They can only be considered for the job of Dy. NSA or NSA.This News Channel is Saying that
ACM Bhadauria who retired very recently ,is also in the Race to become CDS
That would require making New Rules
Gen Naravane, Air Chief Marshal Bhadauria Top Choices for CDS as Hunt on to Fill Bipin Rawat's Boots - News18
Top sources had told News18 that the post will be filled in the next seven to ten days.www.news18.com
Both Lt Gen Joshi & the DyCoAS are due for superannuation in January. Frankly I don't see the issue here . Either you go down the Bipin Rawat way & by pass these two selecting the 3rd most senior person in the IA ( assuming Gen Narawane is being elevated to CDS ) which in any case would be the case in January except that the 3rd most senior person would be in the DyCoAS's chair or make a choice between Lt Gen Joshi or the DyCoAS for the CoAS's post .My thinking is that gen. Naravane will be next CDS and Lt. gen YK Joshi will be next Chief of Army Staff.

My prediction is Naravane as CDS and YK Joshi as COAS. Joshi is the most decorated officer of all of them with maximum medals for gallantry after Zorawer Chand Bakshi,Both Lt Gen Joshi & the DyCoAS are due for superannuation in January.

hey Yamraj, let 13 be the unlucky number. Ek ko toh chodh de. Let us pray for Gp.Capt. Varun.
Seems like 90% burns ... Really hard chance..
We should have HTAWS in all aircraft as mandatory equipment ,Thales HTAWSIt needed HTAWS which is mandatory in all civilian choppers in Europe and Russians probably don’t use it for cost cutting.
I don’t think even ALH has HTAWS.

PS: Many times military pilots intentionally turned it off due to its intrusive nature.
Most horrible. It feels so bad to say that the soul of the Group Capt should be allowed to leave his mortal body, but i believe that this is the best for all.On Twitter , I read that There is Also Renal Failure , which , when I Googled , is mentioned as the immediate consequence of Severe Burn Injuries
Google tells most unpleasant hard facts
Death by burning,death by burning death by rabies disease,three horrendous way to die.On Twitter , I read that There is Also Renal Failure , which , when I Googled , is mentioned as the immediate consequence of Severe Burn Injuries

But why the aircraft was flying so low in the first place?Thoughts on the Mi-17 V5 Crash at Coonoor
An Indian Air Force helicopter with 14 persons onboard crashed into the hills near Coonoor, Tamil Nadu in southern India, around 12:20 PM (IST), Wednesday Dec 8, 2021. The Russian-made Mi-17 V5 hel…kaypius.com

In such weather conditions the safe attitude is increased anyway.
Few decades ago in my younger years, I saw what happens to human body when oil at 300c splashed on them.In the case of burns rapid onset renal failure most often due to the failure of other organs or reduced cardiac output, not the burns themselves unless the kidneys are damaged. If other organs aren't damaged acute renal failure isn't often fatal assuming haemodialysis is available as a treatment. Late-onset renal failure can still occur if a victim recovers from their burn trauma, but that's also manageable by haemodialysis. Renal failure itself isn't a fatal prognosis (though it's fatality rate does exceed 70%). But it's often, especially in victims of burn trauma, a symptom of greater injuries to other vital organs.
This is to say nothing of blunt force trauma, lacerations, smoke or chemical inhalation or other concerns that arise following an aircraft failure or crash.

I treated a lot of burn injuries while in Afghanistan, mainly from detonations.
It appears to me that the helicopter got pushed down by mountain waves which are very prevalent in that area. they seem to have hit sudden downward push by such waves. The Helicopter was being flown the CO of that Halo sqn. He must have known the area very well but mountain waves are sudden and unpredictable. Many locals have said that the weather was clear but we have seen the video where the halo suddenly vanishes in clouds. This is very common in that area due to mountain waves.But why the aircraft was flying so low in the first place?
