Elephant helicopters of the Indian army: the enemy will be scared
Categories: World

On Independence Day, iron cars in tuning from folk craftsmen flew to Delhi. They say that untrained people then spent half a day hiccupping.
Perhaps everything was supposed to work according to this scheme: the enemy sees a painted elephant in the sky and falls into a complete stupor, and the Indian Air Force gets a temporary advantage. Why an elephant? This is probably a tribute to the war elephants that have protected Indian territories since ancient times. Including the invasion of Alexander the Great.
Under the "elephant suit" was an ordinary light helicopter Alouette, French production, or as it is called in India – Chetak.
The top of the car is covered with a fabric cover-an imitation of an elephant, just. And the effect that the painted fabric with the trunk and tusks gives, this is creative!
It is a pity that flying on such beauty is extremely inconvenient and dangerous, as the pilots say. And this miracle of technology was used only at ceremonial events. But what was the wow effect of the crowd of spectators.
