Este vorba despre 2 elicoptere ale armatei SUA, cel mai probabil Black Hawk insa nu este precizat(doar poza articolului o sugereaza) care s-au ciocnit in aer in apropierea oraşului Kirkuk (250 de kilometri de Bagdad)

N-ar trebui sa ne luam dupa poza, nu de alta dar cei de la evz sunt experti in poze puse aiurea, acum ceva vreme ilustrasera un articol despre niste Pume din dotarea Armatei Germane cu un Mi-8

Citat :

Two U.S. helicopters crashed Monday in northern Iraq, killing four American troops, the U.S. military said.

The military said the crash happened at about 2:15 a.m. local time and it "does not appear to be by enemy action."

No precise location was given but a military spokesman said it happened in Tamim province, which includes the oil-rich disputed city of Kirkuk.

Iraqi officials said the crash site was located about 20 miles west of Kirkuk, which is about 180 miles north of Baghdad. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not supposed to release the information.

Maj. Derrick Cheng, a spokesman for U.S. forces in northern Iraq, said all the dead were Americans. He declined to give more details or release their names.
