Two Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force helicopters crashed, 1 dead and 7 missing | Literature City

Two Japanese Self-Defense Force helicopters crashed during training on Saturday (April 20) night, killing one person on board and leaving seven others missing. Japanese Defense Minister Minoru Kihara said on Sunday that “the positions of the flight recorders were found to be very close” and therefore “the possibility of a collision (between the two planes) is high.”

Minoru Kihara told the media that the crashed aircraft was participating in a “night anti-submarine warfare exercise”. At present, the cause of the accident is not yet known, and the top priority is to save lives. He said marine rescue services found the wreckage of what may have been two helicopters.

He reported again a few hours later, “One of the team members rescued earlier has been confirmed dead, and the other seven are still missing.” He said that the two flight recorders were found very close to each other, so “(the two planes) A collision is likely.”

The two helicopters lost contact one after another at 10:38 local time while performing anti-submarine training on the coast of the Izu Islands. NHK reported that the two helicopters lost contact about 25 minutes apart. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force said it was analyzing the recovered flight records. instrument, and interrogated the personnel of the third helicopter who participated in the training but did not cause an accident.

The two helicopters are SH-60K patrol helicopters manufactured by Japan’s Mitsubishi and belong to the Maritime Self-Defense Force.

Agence France-Presse reported that a year ago, a Japanese military helicopter of another model (UH-60JA) crashed in the waters of Okinawa, killing ten people on board. In November, an Osprey helicopter belonging to the US military stationed in Japan crashed into the sea, killing all eight crew members.

The accident prompted the U.S. military to launch an investigation and ground its Osprey aircraft worldwide for three months. After the U.S. military maintained the aircraft and modified procedures, Osprey flights resumed in early March, including flights in Japan.

Reports indicate that as a close ally of the United States, Japan is significantly increasing its defense budget in response to growing tensions in the Asia-Pacific region, including China’s increasingly assertive territorial claims and North Korea’s frequent threats in the region.
