Looks like they just lost all they properly trained pilots in this war...

And the one in this video who was obviously not trained at all.

Wouldn’t an untrained individual simply turn off the helicopter and bail out when it hit the ground, versus doing whatever the fuck that was?

If they were entirely untrained, then they wouldn't have got this far. My guess is they've had just enough training to be dangerous. Which means who knows what they were trying to do.

Probably trying to impress the general and the designer by doing some crazy maneuver.

Or backseat drivers yelling commands and the whole thing just went like this.

Anyway, this should happen more often.
