Quote: "Not long ago our helicopter took off from under very dense fire. In a safe place, it was decided to land the bird, due to some control functionality failures. The landing was very hard, but there were no casualties, the entire crew is fine!"

Some decision. Either you are going down controllably or uncontrollably. And by the looks of it, it seems to have been a rather uncontrolled descent.

"We decided to land, as continuing to fly was not one of the available multiple choice options."

Maneuvering kill?

That is a very loose definition of "landing"

Any landing you can walk away from...
