Maybe they were practicing to salvage their Apache Gunship.

It was a private civilian helicopter. So not a military loss.

Which nevertheless doesn't really provide any comfort. As per practice, inquiry must follow and those involved in negligence be penalized.

The incompetent culprit is military.

Nonsense !!

The air lifted helicopter was intentionally let go as MI 17 pilot was loosing stability due to excessive weight and high winds.

Typical incompetent IAF pilots, don't even know how to read a simple METAR.

To be expected when you can't even get your yearly flight hours up and keep losing pilots to airliners.

Just observe the professional misconduct on full display by the Indian AirForce, the damaged chopper is so badly secured that soon after being winched, its swinging like Tarzan.

The AW 119 helicopter being carried belonged to a private charter company

IAF was just trying to help it because it was stranded in a remote area without any possibility of being repaired

But The pilots soon realised that it was not worth the Risk

So they jettisoned the load and saved themselves from a bigger accident

They did the right thing
