The Indian Army Corps of Engineers Task Force has successfully recovered an Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) of the Indian Air Force (IAF) that was submerged in the floodwaters of the Lakhandei River in Muzaffarpur, Bihar.
According to images released by the Army, the ALH appears to have sustained significant damage to its left side, while the tail and other sections of the helicopter remain largely intact. This suggests that there is a possibility of restoring the helicopter to operational status through repairs.
The IAF and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), the manufacturer of the ALH, will likely conduct a thorough assessment of the damage and determine the feasibility of repairing the helicopter. If the repairs are deemed viable, the ALH could potentially return to service.
The successful recovery of the ALH is a testament to the expertise and capabilities of the Indian Army Corps of Engineers Task Force. Their swift response and efficient operations helped to minimize the damage to the helicopter and ensure its eventual recovery.
