"Such accidents may occur from time to time. The cause of this accident will be explained through the investigations carried out by the accident investigation team.

These helicopters exist mainly in the Ground Forces. These helicopters are one of the helicopters that we frequently use in the fight against terrorism. We are a helicopter with high operational ability and mobility. These helicopters can also be used as personnel transportation, logistics and ambulance. These are the helicopters we have been using in the fight against terrorism since the 90s. Their maintenance is done with precision. Maintenance activities are the corporate culture of the Turkish Armed Forces. Maintenance is also carried out before the mission and if there is a situation that violates flight safety, flight is never allowed.

"The accident investigation team will determine the detailed cause of this."
