Tuesday, April 23rd after two Royal Malaysian Navy helicopters collided in mid-air during a training exercise.

The incident occurred at around 9:32 am local time over the Lumut Royal Malaysian Navy base, according to a statement from the navy. The Perak Fire and Rescue Department responded to the scene and confirmed the fatalities.

The helicopters involved were identified as a Fennec (M502-6) and a HOM (M503-3). 

Both helicopters had departed from Padang Sitiawan at 9:03 am and were reportedly participating in a practice run for a cross-formation flypast to celebrate the navy’s 90th anniversary.

Based on circulating video footage, investigators believe the collision occurred as the helicopters attempted to maneuver into the planned cross-formation within Lumut’s airspace. A secondary collision likely happened as a result, causing both aircraft to lose control and crash.

Malaysian authorities are currently investigating the cause of the accident.

Our deepest condolences go out to the families and loved ones of those who perished in this heartbreaking incident.
