Most likely?
Old Bell helicopter, or an Iranian copy.
Maybe should have spent more money on the choppers and less on rockets and missiles for Iranian proxies.
Kobe Bryant died in a modern up to date helicopter under similar weather conditions. President probably told the pilot fly me home or face the consequences. Karma is.
Old Bell helicopter, or an Iranian copy.
It was a Russian Mi-171, a commercial version of the Mig-8 according to Denys Davydov. You can trust him on the info, there is a picture of the PM getting off the helicopter with the #.
Also note that the video from a helicopter was from a previous flight.

The Bell model bought by Iran is made in Italy. The Iranians also copied/made their own model of the Bell— calling it Shabuz- iirc. If it was the Iranian made— highly possible it was a crap copy with a crap pilot, with these being possible additional factors.
Also— according to the article there were 9 total passengers on that helo. Back when there were Bell Rangers, and they are still flying (old ones) will have to look up maximum passengers inclusive of two pilots. This article said the Pres, Foreign Minister, Prayer Imam, Gov of Easter Azerbaijan, and 3 security guards, plus the pilots. 9 total in weather conditions that might have needed weight reduction for higher elevation flight (not vfr in soup fog in mountains w/out terrain avoid radar etc?). Average weight of 180-190 lbs= 1610 to 1710 lbs of passengers, not including luggage,ammo,weapons and gear.
Just some thoughts.
