After 4 Helicopter Crashes, Ecuador Grounds Indian Dhruv Choppers, Cancels Contract

In a major setback for Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, the government of Ecuador which had bought seven Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopters from India has grounded all such remaining choppers in service and has unilaterally ended a contract with the state-owned Indian company. This decision was taken after four of the seven Indian built choppers crashed. They were supplied to Ecuador between 2009 and 2012.
