President Raisi Death Exposes Dangers of Iran's Aging Aircraft
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 05. 2024
- The helicopter crash that killed Iran President Ebrahim Raisi is the latest reminder of the poor state of many aircraft operating in the Islamic Republic after almost half a century of US sanctions.
Iran has been largely barred from purchasing new aircraft or aircraft components from US or European suppliers since the revolution of 1979, leaving both military and civilian operators cut off from heavyweights Boeing Co. and Airbus SE and reliant on patched-up vehicles from earlier eras.

How do you make thousands of missiles and not able to make helicopters.
Why make.thousansnof missiles and not helicopters
case dismissed ✍️😂
Sanctions. Missiles are produced by a stockpile of oil products.
Drones are much simpler to produce.
Great question!!
You don't attack the USA 🇺🇲 and use their products 💯
Wrong!The US attacks almost every country and still uses resources from those countries. But the question is why can't Iran use Russian or Chinese supplies?
I agree with 100
It was purchased already. How was it belong to the US.
You ain't seen nothing yet sunshine. Taliban kicked the US backside and the US ran leaving $Billions of US equipment for them as they fled!! What do you think Iran could do if it decided to turn on the heat? First slap would be close the Straits of Hormuz - the Petrodollar would crash along with US and European economies - then when you will make a run for the bank you will find its closed - you will be too busy to find a means to even feed yourself and no time to make dumb remarks on the internet!!.
@@TheproudkafirHand me down Eli Copter!! 🎉
Iran can make missiles but cannot build helicopters?
That's where china is behind the shadow
Only idiots believe that was an accident
Ye fog and climate. Was an agent of israel
😂😂😂😂😂I know I’m not going crazy.t either as soon as I heard this story was like it sounds suspicious wallahi bro
… and the only idiotic act on the part of Iran was to have “so many” key personnel on ☝️ helo’!… I don’t know what “ground security” looked like- maybe kinda “lax” due to being in, ahem, “friendly territory” (for “celebratory joint venture event”- with Azerbaijan- whose gov’t is “friendly” with Iran’s demonstratedly MORTAL enemy)- thus on the ground sabotage could definitely have been in play- or even “atmospheric modification” PLUS electronic interference tactics may have been deployed- to allow for “plausible deniability”…?🤷🏼… ALL seem to be logical/plausible possibilities to me…
I'm an idiot who worked in aviation for 14 years; the only explanation that makes sense is that the pilot became spatially disoriented in fog. Fixed wing planes are very forgiving of that; make the pitch trim holds altitude and the aileron trim holds the wings level and the heading reasonably steady. Try to do that very long in a helicopter and you become like Kobe Bryant's last pilot: the copter leans one direction or another and falls off the balance.
The FAA reports, "Statistics show that between 5 to 10% of all general aviation accidents can be attributed to spatial disorientation, 90% of which are fatal. Spatial orientation in flight is difficult to achieve because numerous sensory stimuli (visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive) vary in magnitude, direction, and frequency."
So - do you want to correct your idiotic comment?
@@flagmichael … and “gyroscope”?…
Full of shit. I have flown a 50 yr old C172 no issues
Aye. But who maintained thst choppie?😂
But was it in good repair and did it have any newer parts in it?
This just show you people don’t understand the information being presented.
My point exactly. 👍
What you just said is equally crap. Keep using that chopper.
Nothing to do with age of helicopter...misinformation.....spatial disorientation of the pilot due to fog is the cause
Iran waste money on missles instead of making helicopter
Thats it, every chance to blame the US.....pathetic....
Yes because you spend your money on 300 missles!!
Don't worry their missiles all have same problems ,,,, lol.
So the crash happened due to old equipment under maintained due to sanctions compared to new aircraft that are designed to nose dive without warning due to unsafe design?
their missiles are a fraction of a cost in comparison to the sucky missiles israel and US used to try and down them. the US/Israeli cocktail costed close to 1.5 billion USD. yeah... try to calculate and extrapolate how long you would be able to wage a war on that. ignorance is the worst enemy of western world. not iran or russia...
Nonsense they can't get spare parts or software update
No sanctions on Israel for their nuclear weapons but Iran is sanctioned for imaginary nukes. The illness of the Western mind
The problem of Iran is that they are good in blaming others, instead of blaming there leaders for failure
این مشکل ایران نیست،بلکه مشکل رژیم حاکم بر ایران است
U don't fight America and use their products
So they did it right?!!
God's decision in time
Stop stupid misleading information
Riding an American helicopter, but these leaders wish the death of America...who is dead now? 😅😅😅😅
America pleads the 5th Amendment to that one…
🤣🤣🤣🤪
stupid comment. if america even tried anything against iran they would destroy every american base in the region. and they've shown their capacity. and they flew in poor conditions...
Bad as Boeing.......always crashing.
مرگ سرنوشت قطعی هر انسانی ست و در زمانی که خداوند از،موفع تولد مشخص شده اتفاق می افتد .از،نرگ هیچ کس خوشحال نشوید جون سرنوشت قطعی خودتان هست
So they cannot buy helicopters from Russia or China?
They are worse
@@HarmonyHorizon-im3pq Ofcourse not. They control their media.
@@HarmonyHorizon-im3pqno they can't because no one would insure the cargo and all transporting ships have to be insured to be able to leave and enter ports and have to be checked and inspected regularly and if an inspector sees russian aircraft parts going to Iran its a dead give away and no insurance company would insure the cargo that breaks sanctions
Because they fly in their aircrafts with western parts in it.@@HarmonyHorizon-im3pq
Russia - they are also lacking parts and microchips due to sanctions which is causing them aviation problems. And the little they have or smuggle in is most likely used for domestic or military production/maintenance
China - they almost certainly do somewhat help Iran with bypassing sanctions but to maintain deniability it’s unlikely to be enough for perfect maintenance. As for selling whole aircrafts, that would be far from subtle
The Iranians have Soviet and Chinese modern aircraft cheaper and better than overpriced American equipment.
Well said my taught exactly
Why didn't their president use it then? Lol.
The newest helicopters crash too! Something stinks about this one.
Pilot error. An old story in helicopters: spatial disorientation is vastly worse than in a fixed wing aircraft.
they bought that helo in the early 2000's. He trying to make it sound like Iran is poor yet they make and export their own drones and ballistic missiles
Also Biden has been been handing over billions of US tax payer $ to Iran.
Don’t believe what you heard. Iranians haven’t said anything yet. The enemies already know the cause. What’s a world we’re living 😂😂😂😂
There was a spiritual force weather someone know everything 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Even poor countries in Africa don't use 40yrs old aircrafts Iran have to buy resources to buy latest so why blaming USA, pilots and an engineer know the story
Excuses excuses. The US uses some of the oldest aircraft in the world. The B-52 is going to be in service past 100 years. UPS and FedEx both fly the A300 in fact it’s the workhorse of their fleets. It’s not the us fault Iran doesn’t maintain their aircraft or that they chose to fly a helicopter which isn’t IFR certified in mountainous terrain in the fog. Even the us President doesn’t fly in modern aircraft Air Force one is still a 747-200 model while marine one is a very old seaking. You can’t blame American for this when all of americas aircraft’s in service are ancient as well.
Bell 212s can be upgraded for an IFR configuration. Whether this particular 212 was upgraded is the question. As a retired helicopter pilot, I know that the pilot in command (PIC) is responsible to conduct a course reversal and or land when encountering conditions outside of Visual Flight Rules (VFR) if the helicopter is not equipped with the appropriate IFR configuration, or the pilots are not certified to fly in IFR conditions. IFR flights would require 2 pilots on board; Captain and first officer.
@@matttartal7637 helicopters don’t fly above the clouds which is what IFR is they always maintain VFR. Kobe’s helicopter was a modern helicopter and I’m sure upgraded and even his helicopter could not fly in the fog in mountainous terrain that’s why he also died. It is extremely irresponsible as a pilot to fly in the mountains in dense fog.
@@Jenkmode89 not true. The majority of civilian medivac helicopters are twin engine and IFR configured in order to be capable of flying below VFR minimums. Fog or low level cloud layers are common throughout various seasons. Although it is true that they must main visual reference of terrain upon landing, IFR equipped helicopters with IFR trained pilots typically maintain an altitude of 1,000ft or greater above ground level (AGL) while in cruise flight. Kobe could have had a reckless pilot. IFR trained pilots have been known to make mistakes too. Cheers
@@matttartal7637 lmao flying at 1000 feet is not ifr. You have to be above the clouds in order to be ifr. Ifr is where you are above the clouds and can no longer see the ground. As a fixed wing pilot if you’re not instrument rated you can not go above the clouds and must maintain vfr. Helicopters can’t land if they can’t see outside a plane can still land no matter the weather if they are cat certified. Flying a helicopter in the fog in mountainous terrain is very irresponsible. If helicopters are capable of ifr why wouldn’t they get above the fog and fly true ifr?
Well, Iran spent money on other things like funding terrorism, so no more money for aircraft maintenance. It's good thing Raisi is gone anyway.
BS. The Americans were responsible for jamming the helicopter.
Can’t jam mechanical controls
Not fly by wire
50 years of us sanctions- unbelievable how cruel to isolate a country because they won’t be bullied, God bless Iran
@@SIERRA-dx9wm The controls on the Bell 212 are as mechanical as a bicycle - nothing to jam.
With all due respect, that bullshit to go out because of old equipment. I sincerely hope BRICS can step up for the People of Iran.
Sure 😂 they can't even get an updated helicopter.
So is this an ad which says Yes, Sanctions work? Or saying to Iran "Develop your own economy and industry!"? Or you should have bought aircraft from Saudi Arabia? How am I supposed to feel?
The make of helicopter killed a general in Kenya
They are so poor,but they finance hamas and hisbula
That’s sabotage
That's what they do all the time
By whom ? Who do you think can do that ?
If u knew wy dint u alert yor president yaar..
How flattering that they fly in American.
Iran has nuclear weapon,it also manufacture drones.Why won't Iran produce its own helicopters?
That there problem
You can not blame the U.S. for flying an outdated chopper without spare parts when you're capable of buying new ones from your friends. Has wisdom parted with Iran?
This is not a problem of an old air craft; it was an intentional effort of Mojtaba Khamenei to eliminate Raieesi to be the next supreme leader of Islamic Republic in Iran!
And Mossad had absolutely no involvement what so ever 😏
God bless Iran stay strong Iran
good aircraft bad pilot who dare to fly in that terrain with that weather
Putin did this
Because Mr Putin is also a snake and it means it cant be trusted as a friend
😅
Accidents happen. It was very bad weather, heavy fog etc.
The fog was the really bad part. Fog in a helicopter is very bad news indeed because it obscures references needed to stay right side up. Essentially, it leans a bit one way or another and falls off the column of air holding it up.
Iran should learn lessons and humble itself instead of rhetoric against the US and Israel. There's a difference between a Ferrari driving at top speed and a Maruti Suzuki 1000 cc car.
When you are so consumed with destroying your enemies, you end up destroying your self...
They sure do love American technology 😂
Iran 🇮🇷 intelligence services should be reprimanded for their irresponsible actions recommending their President to fly on a 50 year old United States made helicopter 🚁
When Iran 🇮🇷 is Atomic power owing country
Iran 🇮🇷 should have bought Russian or Chinese built helicopter 🚁
@@sarathdassanaike2807again, iranians love american technology.
Why can't they make their own? You can't blame US on this
They just bought several Russian SU-30s. They could easily have bought newer Russian helicopters if they wanted to. You can't blame sanctions for them not updating the President's helicopter.
Efforts to build a nuclear bomb, smuggling technology and resources and can not smuggle helicopters😂
She criticised every question she needs to be educated or go live in gaza
Well Raisi and Co. have found out there are no 72 virgins waiting for them! 🔥
All was planned by someone
WTF? KOBE BRYANT´S HELICOPTER CRASHED THE SAME WAY
Tell me sir, Iran is with all that wealth in Iran ,is there no moneys for fleets of anything.
You can build so much missiles but forget to protect your own self. This shows how careless and empty you are within your bound. If Iran puts more effort on self development they would have been one of the best countries in the East not even Israel
Got funds for weapons and funding terrorism but no funds for own helicopter.....no pity...
Mossad Mossad Mossad...
Physics physics physics.
They have luxury golden toilets but no money to purchase helicopter from Russia
Conveniently forgets the bad weather, remember when that nice, new and well maintained helicopter that crashed in London during bad weather a couple of years ago or the police helicopter that crashed in Glasgow
Kobe entered the chat.
He died in a modern American helicopter
@@katimboallan4605 no helicopter is equipped to fly in instrument conditions. Kobe died because it was also foggy in mountainous terrain neither should have flown in those conditions period.
@@katimboallan4605 ...but for the same reason Raisi died in this one. Spatial disorientation in a helicopter is quickly fatal, and that is exactly what happened to Kobe's pilot: he became disoriented just before he got on top of the cloud layer. It didn't take long to hit the ground after that.
@@Jenkmode89 A 4 axis autopilot can fly in IMC; besides pitch, roll, and yaw it manages collective power. All combined make it possible for the autopilot to prevent things like this accident.
@@flagmichael no autopilot can prevent you from running into a mountain. Nobody flies in imc conditions. The only time a plane is in imc conditions is on take off and landing. All commercial and even some Ga planes have an autopilot that can land the plane for them so they don’t have to fly. No helicopter can do that if you can’t see outside in a helicopter you can’t land at all. This is precisely why helicopters should never fly in the fog especially in mountainous terrain especially with your countries top executive on board.
As if only Americans make helicopters.
It’s not because of how old the helicopter was but weather conditions just like Kobe’s death the weather was bad and poor visibility the pilot couldn’t see. Collect your facts before you come here and make an ass for yourself
In fact, the cause of the accident was probably the same as for Bryant's death: the pilot became spatially disoriented. IIRC, the copter carrying Bryant was climbing through the cloud layer and was almost on top when the helicopter essentially fell sideways and never completely recovered.
They have money to produce Nuclear weapons but not helicopter!! 😭 😜
The irony is how cracked the one and not the one of the others
What about the Nigeria based banker who recently died in air crash in the US
This country has been going through a tough time for the last 100 years
Let god send jesus on earth to make our proxy biased understanding a holistic humane understanding
They are financing Creation of nuclear weapons to take on the Holy land yet can't improve air transportation😂😂
Kobe died in a much newer helicopter flying under similar conditions and terrain.
Who is USA to impose sanctions? This world is the creation of GOD for all
Now why they pointing Israel 🇮🇱 yet they know the cause of the crash
Wheather it's newer models or older model, someone is behind in that accident 😢😢😢
But they could afford nuclear weapons…. Think about that!!
Sounds reasonable
Why don't they buy a new chopper in other country?
That shouldn't happen.
What are you talking about sanctions? They can build sophisticated missiles to send to terrorist groups to fight Israel, they build sophisticated drones to kill Ukrainians via Russia, they spend trillions of dollars on Hamas, Hezbollah, Ansa Allah terrorist groups, and run a nuclear programme of trillions of dollars, and they could repair their presidential aircraft? Iran do 25years oil business with China, who builds all sort of sophisticated helicopters and China couldn't supply Iran with just one sophisticated helicopter for Iranian president? Russia and Iran do good business, and Russia couldn't supply Iran with a super sophisticated helicopter for their president? What has 50 years sanction has to do with this? Iran is supposed to have the best Aircrafts from China and Russia with no cost.
They spend their money for wrong purposes. They should bought new craft by now.
So they can boast of making top notch missiles and blame sanctions for not making good helicopters..😅 jokes on them
But thy say it was good weather! 😱Also the helicopter was so old! Now they blamed Israel! 😢
Not true at all benz can be produced in Germany 50yrs ago and also in south africa after now too that doesn't mean is made in German,and is old
OK...let me see if I understand this as a result of US sanctions to sell parts and new choppers to Iran ....no other countries namely Iran allies...don't make helicopters and given their relationship with the western world...why wud they want aircrafts or vehicles from the US for their president....I am confused is the weather, age/ performance of the helicopter cause the crash...how come the other two choppers made it through the same fog...why did this pilot asked the other pilots to fly above the fog ...and he didn't....no mission impossible here!!!!
They prefer cheap drones.
Is the helicopter ok?
Sadly
A compounded situation
The Security and Safety
No 3 dignitaries of a Government should travel together .
Was the pilot instrument rated ?
Weather
Mountain Flying
Are an exact science
We hope that crash is investigated properly .
Could be a Defekt wS there 🤔at that flyed ???
So why didn't they invest in Russian helicopters?
Why they don't buy from China which is more reliable than product of USA
Penny wise, pound foolish?!!
Was it due to Mechanical malfunction or Weather .... Try and get your scheit straight
Taking the positive way,all the developing countries should innitiate on building a good relationship with developed countries and not competing on war arsenal and wasting the money, when they could spend on the betterment of their citizens who need the most❤
Why Iran uses this outdated helicopter when they can make their owen or others from China or Russian etc... not clear?
😂😂😂 America knows well conspiracy games
All these are manipulation
She was killed
Assassinated
don't blame the chopper
Rubbish
fake news , in 3 choppers only the one with Raisi and FM was hit , they save in his chopper , it is ridiculous , everybody knows about azerbaijan is packed with israelis and MI 6 , gich helped against armenians
Common what do you mean an aging aircraft. Iran developed advance drone and nuclear 🚀 ...was it malfunction or sabotage or shot down 😠
But they are focused on producing nuclear weapon
Sounds like something was said in that meeting that "they" did not like?
BS. Yes Obnoxious BS
Iran sells lots of oil 🛢 to China 🇨🇳, and doesn't have money to buy helicopter, so funny, I never seen 🤣 this old helicopter!!
But Iran has reversed engineered these Bell Helicopters, and these are supposed to be locally made
whose fault is that, , iran can buy missiles and send to good people of God but cannot buy new model helicopter, ,
So sanctions are working as aimed
Not true how cld the plane ✈️ disappear when it’s been followed by two planes and also it also communicated them by telling they shld raise above the cloud
