A U.S Apache helicopter has crashed nose dive into the sea, a few metres from the shoreline of the Northern Greek City of Thessaloniki.
The craft is said to have suffered a broken engine, but miraculously two of the pilots survived, the Associated press reported.
The incident occured during the SARISA 2016 national drill – a military exercise involving units, and three branches of the national army, and the special forces division of the U.S army.
The four blade consists of a fast turbo shaft attack craft with a tail wheel gear landing equipment introduced in 1986, and used as a leading war plane in a number of major battles involving Israel, Greece, and other countries.
