Army Cheetah Helicopter Carrying Major General Crashes in Ladakh, All On Board Safe The crash of an Indian Army Cheetah helicopter in Ladakh's Tangtse region on Wednesday has highlighted the risks faced by the country's ageing fleet of military choppers.
The three officers on board suffered minor injuries and are expected to return to duty soon.
The Cheetah, which first entered service in 1971, was designed for high altitude operations and quickly became an indispensable asset for the Indian Army.
