A Russian military helicopter brought down by Chechen fighters in Chechnya. I'm not sure on the date of these photos - probably 2007'ish.

Burnt to a crisp. At least death was probably instant.

Deep Fried SIKORSKY HELO


Nice Work Death Hand Sir

Yes, they are deep fried and well done. Amazingly 2 or 3 troops managed to get out. But the forward crew weren't so lucky.

damn! they were extremely lucky....

kinda reminded me of this:

Vesna Vulović (Serbian: Весна Вуловић; born 3 January 1950) is a Serbian former flight attendant. She holds the world record, according to the Guinness Book of Records, for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160 metres (33,330 ft).

Dang, that's one hell of a long fall!

I'd take a guess that the few troops that survived this crash where in the tail section. The first image of the helicopter coming down shows the forward section fully engulfed in flames. The wreckage on the ground shows that the only recognizable part of the copter was the tail section (which might have been larger before the fire was extinguisghed).

Those young airmen can sure count their lucky stars.

Agreed...Unless, they were captured by the Chechens afterwards.

To be captured by the balls is more hardcore

Unbelievable that there were any survivors!
