...there is talk of an NH90 being involved,
but

Re: Mali - 2 French army helicopters down
They showed a picture of a NH90 on the BBC website, but with the reputation of the mainstream media (MSM) in reporting aviation events being not high, it looks like a collision between a Cougar and a Tigre is-it this point in time- the most likely outcome.Stratofreighter wrote:...there is talk of an NH90 being involved,
