Was this recent?

Well the Indian-made heli crashes in Ecuador were all around the middle of the 2010s.

Those sold to Ecuador were probably the last foreign sales success of the helis, and that too under bribes.

There were multiple crashes also in Indian AF service as well, and some of the incidents were probably kept under wraps.

New Leser gyro is developed for Brahmos. It is claimed that this will further enhance the performance, reliability and accuracy of Brahmos. Brahmos NG is going to a marvel of standoff weapon. Very fast, highly maneuverable, complex trajectory for any sort of Interception.

In India, you can not keep anything under wrap. You can not justify anything by using word probably and get away. India is not China. India too have crashes but how many? This chopper is used in world's highest terrain above 6000 meters. Very few choppers can effectively be operated at this height. Inspite of that, crashes are minimal. This chopper has revolutionized Army and Air force operations. Army wanted it to carry 200 to Siachen. It lifted double the payload of same. It is the best chopper in rescue work in which it is widely used. In January 2024, it had completed 340000 hours of flying in India. So crashed per flying hour are not at all high. This has more than double the T/W ratio of Z10 chopper of China which cannot carry over 500 KG above 10000 ft.

Bangladesh hasn't signed MTCR yet. Will you sell Brahmos NG to Bangladesh?

Any missile bellow 300 km range is not covered under MTCR restriction.

Crashes are minimal? OK.

It happens after every accident. We had grounded Mirage 2000, Su 30 MKI as well. Reasons of crash are accessed to ensure that this is not common in other similar assets. This is a procedure. Fact of the matter is that this chopper had over 340 thousand hours of flying 9 months back and that too in some of most difficult terrain 6000 meter high in Himalayas. It is flying and giving excellent services today and used by all 3 wings and cost guard as well. It has armed version which has done exceedingly well.

India has finalized an agreement to develop 75/120 KN engine with Safran. MWF with frontal stealth, 75/120 KN engine with super cruise in excess of Mach 1.5, GAN based AESA and spectra like AESA shall be grand pa of all 4.5 generation planes. India can very much make it happen in a decade of time in MWF-2 Avatar.
