New Delhi: A major accident took place during the military operation in Australia. Four Australian military aircraft pilots are missing after their helicopter crashed into the sea off the country’s north-east coast.
Defense Minister Richard Marles informed that the MRH-90 Taipan helicopter crashed late on Friday night. The MRH-90 Taipan went down late Friday night in sub-tropical waters off Queensland, while taking part in the 30,000-strong Talisman Sabre drills.
Defense officials informed that the US-Australian Talisman Saber exercise has been put on hold for the search of the crew. “As we speak to you now, the four aircrew are yet to be found” Marles said after a nearly 12 hour overnight search, which is set to continue Saturday.
He added, “The families of the four aircrew have been notified of this incident and our hopes and thoughts are very much with the aircrew and their families.” “We desperately hope for better news during the course of this day.”
Let us tell you that bilateral military exercises have started between the two countries. Defence officials announced a pause in the Talisman Sabre exercise, which also includes soldiers from Japan, France, Germany, and South Korea.
