While fixed-wing aircraft like a Cessna 182 can survive a hard landing that rattles teeth or breaks an altimeter, a helicopter landing with excessive force typically results in a rollover and rotor destruction. The missing Iranian aircraft is identified as a Soviet-era MI-17, which utilizes wheels rather than skids.
