The weather change was sudden. That’s not the issue. The issues are far deeper. Lax and practically nonexistent security.
 
Surely the helicopter would have a radio beacon of some sort and that would make detection of location easy via drone?

Let us hope for the best.

This is not accident it seems, is this normal for state heads to fly in such weather conditions without any back up arrangements? otherwise why would iran security protocols allow such high-profile official to fly in such conditions.
 
3 helicopters left from the same place to the same destination and only 1 had to make an emergency landing ... the one carrying President Raisi and FM Abdollahian

quite suspicious

Ancient equipment for everyone, from soldiers to presidents. Most unsafe roads and deaths in the world due to car accidents. Even nuclear scientists that were killed were in shitty cars. Security and safety has no meaning in Iran, it's all symptoms of corruption and mismanagement.
