Further, the role of a senior officer who ordered a ground-based missile to be fired is also said to have come under scrutiny, according to persons familiar with the developments.

The probe will also look at why the Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) system — that is supposed to be on the helicopter — didn’t work. The inquiry into the incident — now being seen as a case of friendly fire — will shortly move to the next step of ‘summary of evidence’, in which more than one officer could potentially be charged with culpable homicide, not amounting to murder. On February 27, a Mi-17 V-5 chopper of the Srinagar-based 154 Helicopter Unit crashed within 10 minutes of taking off even as a dogfight raged over 100 km away between intruding Pakistani jets and the IAF, in which Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthamanwas involved. Six IAF personnel on board and a civilian on the ground had lost their lives in the crash.

According to multiple reports, a Court of Inquiry (CoI) in the matter has fixed the responsibility on the senior officials of the Srinagar Air Base for ‘violating the standard operating procedures’. The incident reportedly took place as the chopper came under a friendly fire as the Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) system on the chopper was switched off.
“Unprecedented as it might be, IAF leadership is clear that such lapses are not repeated,” Hindustan Times quoted a senior defence ministry official as saying.
According to the HT report, the CoI has found out a number of lapses in the SoPs. For instance, when the engagement between IAF and PAF jets ensued, the chopper should have been sent to a safer location meant for friendly aircraft. Instead, the chopper reportedly continued to fly without being identifiable, thus falling prey to the air defence platforms.
Hey future officers, I am Sepoy Muni, I got recommended from 11 SSB Allahabad for ACC 119 in my second attempt. I want to share a few most important lines before explaining my SSB experience. Honesty never fails, confident and cheerfulness comes by your preparations. I was screened out in my 1st attempt and that’s where I felt the real pain of failure and as well as the spark of my success. I would like to thank SSBCrack for motivating me many success stories of different people. Now I reported at the centre on the 2nd of March. The next day was screening day and I had prepared well for my OIR with a help of SSBCRACK’ S Ebooks and R.S Agarwal book and that helped to score more than 90 out of 100.
In PPDT I observed all the instructions, changed negative situations to a positive and a simple story. Before entering the test hall I myself narrated the story for more than 20 times. During narration I was courageous and confident, so my group nominated me to give the story of my group. I was pretty sure about my screening.. we 39 got the screening in – out of 108 candidates.

The next day happened my psych test and personal interview. In psych test I had put my self in all the pictures and made simple stories with adequate actions. I completed all 60 WAT and 39 SRT questions. My interview took 45 to 50 min. I answered the questions with full confidence. My request to all of you is to analyse yourself and follow that in an honest way.
My GTO was very joyful. I gave ideas and chance to others too. I was not stressed by my accessors, but I was total with my group. My conference went 2 to 3 min where I was asked a very normal question. Finally, I got a positive result…Here I want to thank col MP sir who guided me till the end of my SSB. Only you and your hard work decide your success. Thanks a lot.
