Thanks LTC Ivan Raiklin, Esq. from what I understand 2 soldiers were slightly injured in the mechanical failure crash. This limited report conforms that "Two U.S. soldiers reportedly suffered light injuries during a hard landing of a HH-60 Black Hawk helicopter in Afghanistan early on Tuesday.
The helicopter suffered an unspecified mechanical failure during operations over the Achin District in eastern Afghanistan. No statements have been made as to whether or not the helicopter had been fired upon by members of the Taliban or ISIS-K, which are both known to operate in the area."
Yesterday the Taliban claimed to have shot down the Balcakhwak with no survivors - typical disinformation for that nefarious and despicable group of thugs.

Thank God I'm glad no one was killed the 2 lives taken today are too much as it is.

Never had a hard landing in one. Had a mission scrubbed because the GPS crapped out and turned back within 10 mikes in the air, but never a hard landing.
