According to a military analyst, Iranian President Ibrahim may be traveling in a Bell-212 helicopter. Which began operation in the late 1960s. An agency claims that President Ibrahim Resi was traveling in a 15-seat Bell-212 helicopter. The Bell-212 is a medium-sized twin-engine helicopter. This helicopter can be used for civil and commercial as well as military use. This is a medium sized helicopter. Along with one pilot, 14 people can sit comfortably in it.

What is the weakness of Bell Helicopter?
The Bell-212 helicopter first came into existence in the 1960s. Bell-212 helicopter is an improved version of Bell-205. This helicopter is more powerful and world class than before. Despite its strong and reliable claims, the Bell-212 helicopter has unfortunately been involved in several major accidents over the years. Apart from this, in 1997 a Bell-212 helicopter crashed off the coast of Louisiana. In which eight people died. Additionally, in 2009 a Bell-212 helicopter crashed in Canada, killing 17 to 18 people.
The helicopter's parts were damaged
Since the helicopter was quite old, its spare parts were completely damaged, hence there was a problem in getting new spare parts. According to a retired US Air Force officer, the helicopter was manufactured first in the US and then in Canada. It was first introduced commercially in 1976 during the reign of the Shah of Iran. That's why the Iranians were having a lot of trouble in getting spare parts. At the same time, bad weather on Sunday also became the reason for this accident.
