US military officials have grounded all non-mission-critical helicopter pilots after four helicopter crashes in the past few weeks.
According to the details, the Chief of Staff of the Army ordered the pilots to be grounded after frequent incidents of American military helicopters falling.
According to the French news agency AFP, 4 US military helicopters crashed in a few weeks, after which all the pilots were grounded as they were not part of an important mission.
It should be noted that three soldiers were killed and one was injured in the collision of two Apache helicopters last Thursday.
According to AFP, two Blackhawk helicopters crashed in the US state of Kentucky two weeks ago, killing 9 people.
According to the statement issued by the US Army, according to the orders of Chief of Staff General James McConnell, all pilots will not be able to fly helicopters until they complete the necessary training.
According to the statement, the US Army will review risk management systems, aircraft maintenance training programs, aircrew training and other factors.
In the past few years, several US military helicopters and planes have crashed. In February this year, a Black Hawk helicopter crashed during a training flight, killing two National Guard personnel.
Last year, a V22B Osprey was destroyed during NATO exercises in Norway after it likely crashed into a mountain, killing four US servicemen.
In 2021, a T-45C GoShock jet aircraft crashed in a residential area in Texas during training, but two Navy pilots survived the accident. The pilots had jumped with the help of parachute before the plane fell.
