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

Why is India obsessed with lambasting Pakistan - she mentioned Pakistan and Pakistani more times than she mentioned Tejas.

Priority check...

A sick joke but quite correct on this situation specially for her "Aaa Pakistan slowly aa aa".

What to do. Lols
Pakistan is for every situation.

Don't take it too seriously.

You can treat this as an entertainment program; it's only meant to make the audience smile, and nothing more.

In reality, their true capabilities are evident to all of us, and require no further explanation.

If you look inside the cockpit it seems like he was raising left arm.

Call sign check kero, Patty and Minnie

Wonder what the Indian Air Force pilots from the South Indian states of Kerala, and Tamil Nadu, think of the call sign "Patti" ( or Patty). The word Patty has quite a different meaning in their native tongues ( Malayalam and Tamil).. Wonder if anyone got assigned the call sign "Panni" ( short for last name Pant, Panna Lal ). This would be quite amusing for South Indian pilots too.

People on X are referring to the cause as:

Syncope is the medical term for fainting, which is a temporary and sudden loss of consciousness caused by a brief drop in blood flow to the brain. It typically involves becoming limp and motionless before spontaneously recovering consciousness

If you see last 3 seconds vid....the pilot left arm was raised and head was not aligned with front screen

I dont often read stuff online but the amount of conspiracy and fiction written by indians is next level.
Somehow this crash is being linked and who to blame? Pakistan everytime.
Incredible theories blaming.
@Fatman17 posted above about the medical condition - sounds feasible. Unfortunately the theory of pilot error too seems logical but to suggest Pakistan intervention is ridiculous but indians prefer to believe this.
Ffs what do they eat to come up with this?

What does left arm indicate?

This was not a rehersal or routine flight This happened during an Air Show performance.

During Air Shows everything is pre planned, Altitude, speed, exact points for turns and manuvers etc.

So, the experts who are saying, Pilot attempted a manouver too low or at a wrong time or whatever, they are missing the point that it was an actual performance, there was nothing for the pilot to choose and decide, he was doing pre practiced and planned manouvers. keep in mind other Fighters taxing, taking off etc.

Quick nose dive fall is clear and shows no engine power to allow pilot to do anything.

My POV only, not saying I cant be wrong. But to me its very clear.

While the Engine Failure (Thrust Loss) can explain the nose dive, so does a Lift Loss (historical problem with Delta Wing at low altitudes), FBW Failure/Malfunction (the most important system to keep Delta Wing stable), and also G-LOC to a certain degree. It's too early to attribute the crash to a single failure.

I think we are all are curious and only trying to guess what went wrong and not necessarily trying to be experts here.

The pre-planned flight can still go wrong because of the change in Local Air Temperature and Humidity, esp in Dubai and around November/December where air temperature and humidity can fluctuate a lot - the warm and humid air lower downs the air density considerably and would require re-calculation for flight parameters which is where the FWB system comes in, and India is producing it's own for Tejas, hence there's an equal likelihood if not more for that system to malfunction as the engine. The engine however, is proven GE product so if it failed it could probably because of integration issue which would again connect back with Tejas design problems.

The maneuver the Tejas made was indeed low altitude for a Delta Wing, and even if it was practiced, the margin of error would have been very low.

So it could be any of the problems we have discussed here but whether India will speak the truth on if it was a design issue or pilot error - I think we already know the chances of pilot getting the blame are more than the design/production issue.
