Maj. Gen. Eshel joins Cobra helicopter squadron training after its return to regular activity, a month and a half after being grounded following an accident
The Israel Air Force's Cobra (Tzefa) helicopters have returned to flight activity, more than a month after the accident of the Cobra helicopter that cost the lives of Lt. Col. Noam Ron and Maj. Erez Flesker, and prior to the conclusion of the full investigation.
The findings of the investigation pointed to the accident being caused by a technical failure, and the IAF decided to return the first combat helicopter squadron to full activity.
The commander of the IAF, Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel, joined the squadron training that took place yesterday. "We lost two of our best fighters as a result of a technical malfunction. The investigation has yet to conclude, and we will continue until we reach all of the necessary conclusions in order to safely return to operational capability. There is considerable operational importance to the layout's return to activity, and the Tzefa is very relevant to the changing reality along our borders," said Maj. Gen. Eshel.
