Apache Helicopter's Quick Thinking in Pathankot: A Precautionary Landing Narrative

An Apache attack helicopter from the Indian Air Force made a precautionary landing in Pathankot, Punjab, amid routine operations. The pilot and co-pilot were unharmed and returned the chopper to the airbase. This follows a similar incident in Saharanpur the previous week. Further details are awaited.

An Apache attack helicopter belonging to the Indian Air Force executed a precautionary landing in Punjab's Pathankot district during a routine operation on Friday, according to sources.

The aircraft was seen grounded in a field, but both the pilot and co-pilot emerged unscathed and subsequently piloted the helicopter back to its base at the Pathankot airbase.

This incident mirrors a similar one a week prior, involving another Apache helicopter facing a technical challenge in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur, which was resolved without injuries.
