Army’s Cheetah crashes in Arunachal, 2 pilots killed

The Army’s aviation wing lost two pilots, Lt Col VVB Reddy and Major Jayanth A, when their Cheetah helicopter crashed in Arunachal on Thursday. The obsolete single-engine Cheetah and Chetak helicopters, which are of the design vintage of the 1960s and lack modern avionics and in-built safety mechanisms, have had a particularly poor track record.
