An Indian Tejas fighter jet crashed during an aerial display at the Dubai Air Show

[NA71]

Even the Emirates stand red faced in that instance.

Payback is cruel. Justice works in mysterious ways.

Allah is indeed the best planner.

 

[Dalit]

When things like this happen, the air-show takes a hit too.

Aviators don't like hovering around bad luck places.

No doubt. The Dubai Air Show has been affected badly after this crash.

Nice. I want to see this Hindutva witch burn to the ground like Tejas.

 

[Tremain]

I would normally expect the engine to be glowing hot ( orange/white ) with extra thrust.

As we saw in their recent passenger plane crash, Indian pilots have developed a habit of cutting off fuel to the engines when the engines most need fuel.

Maybe... for reasons unknown.... this fellow did the same? I'm half serious.... their pilots do not behave logically and they get overwhelmed in the cockpit.

I can't figure these people out... I just can't.

anything but accountability

I don't know. But that family of engines is the most reliable on the planet. I would trust it with my life. They must have done something really nasty to it to make it misbehave (if it did misbehave... which I doubt).

Personally, I think it was a pilot error.

Professionalism has its perks. It keeps you composed and measured in a real conflict. The result of that? We have already seen it recently. There is a famous tradition about one of Islam's greatest soldiers walking away from a combatant who spit at him to avoid personal grudge contaminating the engagement. That is our ideal. And yes it isn't easy.

This is not a question of "spitting ". It is murdering, men women and children, lynching people on their way to worship, gang raping of pregnant women and slitting their uterus to remove the fetuses and impaling them on bayonets. I know the description is gruesome but we are dealing with a ruthless cruel savage enemy.. the worst since the Mongols. The only other army in recent times that perpetrated such horrors was the Japanese Imperial Forces against the Chinese and Koreans. Staying neutral and not exhibiting a fake regret is the honorable thing to do. If our own pilots were killed such as in the civilian air crashes the laughter and celebrations including fireworks can be heard right across our Eastern borders.

Tejas bhai ka upar nazar nahi lagi, kisi ka shraap ha.

seriosuly how does one plane have this many accidents and development issue

 

[Gripen9]

Based on the vid, just looks to me like jet was too low for that manoeuvre? You can see that the plan was to get quite low to the ground before climbing but hit the ground instead. On the flip side, can’t believe a modern jet with all its gizmos could allow such an error without all manner of warnings?

Pilots mostly ignore those warnings while performing aerobatics. They know they are pushing the envelop well outside of what is considered "safe". This may have been a split second lapse of judgement as @Raider 21 had commented while transitioning from the negative G maneuver. Had it been an engine failure or a compressor stall, the pilot would have ejected instantaneously as there is no chance of him recovering from at this low altitude.

 

[Tremain]

Personally, I think it was a pilot error.

I'm leaning in that direction too.

The pilot was forcing a mediocre aircraft designed by mediocre people to perform stuff it wasn't capable of. So the pilot lost patience with the machine and unwittingly forced a failure.

 

[Fasbre2]

So the oil leak thing was real? They tried so hard to brush it under the carpet.

Was it false bravado flying an aircraft that had issues on the ground… or are all Tejas plagued with the same leakage issue if it was not the infamous aircraft with shopping bags under the fuselage..

Are the Emiratis and Indians going to reveal the facts? Only time will tell.

 

[Yasser76]

Mate, this is poor training and skills. Indian pilots are renowned for lacking skills in the air. The stats don't lie. Indian Air Force is often named as one of the worst offenders when it comes to air crash rates all over the world. I firmly believe this is due to lack of skills and training.

Have been saying this for ages, many on here grant the IAF with a similar ethos and professionalism as the PAF, possibly due to the fact that both air forces derived from the RAF.
Although this may have been true in the 50s and 60s, I really think that the widescale adoption of Soviet equipment, training and tactics had a detrimental effect on the IAF.
Yes, they have some good kit, but culture, training and ethos is more similar to former Eastern Block then it is to US/NATO

Sabre, F-104 then later the F-16 ensured PAF was exposed to the very highest training, safety standards and culture.

My opinion anyway.

I have briefly seen Indian coverage of the incident. To me it seems that the death of the pilot is just a passing remark. Most outlets are trying to salvage the reputation of the aircraft, saying it has the best safety record of all the single engine aircraft in the world (only two crashes), is highly capable, is this and that, and there is no need to cancel the project. Few like Ms Sharma have been trying to draw away attention toward things that are peripheral or completely irrelevant to the incident. Barkha Dutt - it seemed to me - was trying to portray herself as an expert, clarifying what that leak in Tejas was, but wholly relying on posts from Indian X-handles. But there was at least one outlet that did highlight - even if briefly - the problems with the project.
