The helicopters operate in the service of the 193rd Squadron at the Ramat David base in the north.
The helicopters land and take off on assault ships 4.5 and 5.
The helicopter crew consists of two air crew members: a captain, a co-pilot, and a Musk assistance officer, who has completed a seamanship course.
In some missions an airborne mechanic also joins.
It is estimated that as soon as the helicopter pilot loses control and collides with water, there is a mechanism in it that allows him to float and not dive to the depths of the sea.
The bat helicopter that crashed tonight carried three crew members on it.
Rescue workers were called to the scene and located the three, and they were evacuated to Rambam Hospital in the city. The condition of one of them is defined as moderate, and the condition of the others has not yet been clarified.
