IAF Apache Helicopter Makes Emergency Landing in Pathankot, Second Incident This Week

An Indian Air Force (IAF) Apache helicopter made a precautionary emergency landing in Pathankot, Punjab, today (Friday). The M17 chopper landed successfully without sustaining any damage.

This marks the second such incident for the IAF within a week. Just last Thursday, June 6, another IAF helicopter was forced to make a similar emergency landing in a field near Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh.

In today's incident, the two pilots, who are both safe, were on a training sortie when they detected a technical glitch in the helicopter, prompting the emergency landing.
