Two Iran guards killed in chopper crash during combat
The semi-official Tasnim news agency said that the crash occurred during a drill
Tehran: An Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander and his pilot were killed Monday in an autogiro accident during an operation near the Pakistani border, state TV reported.
The report said that Gen. Hamid Mazandarani died during a military operation in the Sirkan border area, located in Sistan and Balochistan province.
The semi-official Tasnim news agency said that the crash occurred during a drill.
It is pertinent to note that an autogiro, resembling a helicopter in rotor design but simpler and smaller, is typically used in Iran for pilot training and border monitoring. It is capable of carrying two people.
