Japanese Huey has bumpy landing
A Japanese variant of the venerable UH-1 Huey descends to deliver a reconnaissance team during an exercise and lands hard, skidding and bumping the boom on the ground. The helicopter circles, comes back around, and lands again, allowing the troops to disembark. The source shared the video in response to a similar incident in Nigeria. The rough landing by the Nigerian Huey generated some criticism, but this Japanese contributor asserts that rough landings are sometimes part of doing business in a Huey. From my experience, these things occasionally happen in all services, and I recall during my first deployment from 2001 to 2002, a USMC Huey pilot having a similar rough landing in a Huey while we were conducting an exercise in Kenya.

Footage courtesy of the Philippines Coast Guard (PCG) showing conflict in the crowded waters around Scarborough Shoal. The atoll is a disputed area claimed by the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of China (Taiwan), and by the Republic of the Philippines. The shoal is valuable for fishing and enables control of the South China Sea.

China also attempts to bolster its territorial claims by piling spoil atop shoals in the South China Sea until they break the surface, and then claiming that they are islands and the sovereign territory of China.
