Indian Air Force helicopter makes emergency landing in Punjab's Pathankot
- On June 13, 2025, an Indian Air Force Apache helicopter performed an urgent precautionary touchdown in an open area close to Nangalpur village in Pathankot, Punjab.
- The landing followed detection of a technical glitch on the helicopter during a routine sortie, marking the third such Apache incident in the past year.
- IAF personnel from Pathankot airbase reached the site, confirmed no injuries or damage, and the helicopter was flown by its crew to Sarsawa airbase for checks.
- Apaches, inducted since 2019 to replace older Mi-25/35 gunships, are equipped for attack roles including anti-tank and reconnaissance, and incidents emphasize maintenance and crew training needs.
- This emergency landing and others in recent months have prompted an ongoing investigation to determine causes and ensure safety and operational readiness within the IAF fleet.
