8/ before drawing any conclusion about this accident, i just want to remind people that Helicopters are special "animals" (a bit like Osprey) - it is very easy to have a quick "simple" incident that escalate immediately in a tragic accident !
No one saw a pre explosion

would directly imply that a #Russian missile would have hit the helicopter !!?? as per the gen proc - french LE Monde reports -!
