An Air Force official said, "Flying a Chinook is different from flying a Mi-17 or any of them helicopters." It is the only tandem rotor aircraft operated by the Indian Air Force. This aircraft can perform a variety of roles. It also cannot be controlled like other helicopters. Its controls are different. It is used to transport artillery, supplies, and soldiers on the battlefield.
