Iranian President involved in helo crash/mishap. Likely MI-17 or CH-47C - will see. This is still developing.

Looking at local Persian language posts on X and Reddit, it is very possible the President of Iran was killed in this mishap.

Wouldn’t call myself a fan of this guy, but he’s better than the follow up.

Reports from Azerbaijan news outlet show the President of Iran on board a Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force Bell 212 in VIP configuration just prior to the reported mishap.

'hard landing " + "heavy fog" + "mountains"...usually doesn't end up well.

I'm curious if this will be a 'rally around the flag' moment, or create more instability among the populace. Expect crazy conspiracy theories coming out of the IR government.

Sounds like it's been confirmed as a very 'hard landing'....

The Iranian HMX equivalent needs to do a better job of selecting qualified pilots.

Maybe they should start poaching NSI/WTI's from their operational units? 😁

Mods, spin this into a separate thread, if you will.

Apparently there was a 3 ship transporting the 'man'.. Two of that flight landed safely....I guess they said fuck that dude (the HAC carrying the dude), we ain't pushing into this shit.

Piss poor ORM/CRM all around, if you ask me.... Throw his ass in the back of a Hilux truck back to Tehran if the wx is ibelow mins. 😙

Good riddance to the Butcher of Tehran though.

Why does this thread title end with a question mark? It seems fairly objective at this point.
