A domestically produced Zhi-9 helicopter crashed in Ghana, resulting in the deaths of the defense minister and several others.

One of China's WZ-9 helicopters crashed in Ghana, Africa on August 6th, resulting in the death of all personnel on board, including Ghana's Minister of Defense and several senior aides. The specific cause of the crash is still unknown. As for the cause of the crash, there are many possibilities, such as retaliation from rivals, improper maintenance of the helicopter, or pilot error entering turbulent air currents, or mechanical failure, all of which are possible.

Ghana has not yet released the specific cause of the crash because of a lack of key data references, and it can only be said that an investigation is being carried out. However, this crash caused the death of Ghana's Minister of Defense, which is indeed a great tragedy. After all, he was the highest-ranking military official in Ghana, but died in an air disaster. It can only be said to be very sorry.

Among African countries, our weapons sales volume is quite large. It's normal to have some problems, because the helicopter itself is not the problem, and there are many reasons that can cause a crash. The blogger also said that improper maintenance is the most common reason, and even forgetting to refuel could possibly lead to a crash, which depends on the specific circumstances.

Currently, Chinese weapons and ammunition, as well as various equipment, including the army, navy, and air force, are extremely popular in Africa. However, warships sell the least, because our current warships are high-level warships, requiring significant support for a country's navy. Ordinary African countries' naval strength cannot handle these high-tech missile destroyers and frigates, so they can only have ordinary navies.

Even many African countries do not have a navy, because a navy is too expensive and difficult to operate. Safety comes first, and it's already good enough for African countries to have an army and an air force. It's better not to mess with the navy for now.
