Helicopters are distinguished from fixed-wing warplanes by their ability to land and take off anywhere and stop in the air if required.

Although it does not have the super-fast speed of some fixed-wing warplanes, its ability to stand in the air is one of the most important features that the military relies on in many war missions, such as airdrops of forces behind counting lines.

In addition to the military missions carried out by the helicopters, some of them can participate in recreational competitions to reveal the accuracy and efficiency of the pilot.

This is shown in a video clip published by the China International Television Network, on Twitter, of a Chinese military helicopter picking up a cylindrical vase by means of a rope suspended at the bottom of the plane.

The video shows how the pilot was able to locate the pot and put the rope inside it, despite it being in a place that the pilot could not spot from inside the plane. The mission was accomplished by external guidance in a way that reveals the skill and professionalism of its pilot.
