He is referring to previous similar incidents where the cause was the same—the aircraft didn’t have enough height to safely perform that manoeuvre.

Avoid this English nationalist extremist. He is dealing with his war crimes and PTSD by telling himself his crimes were actually good.

His claim plane maneuvering was very close the ground ? and pilot was not trained enough to guess the correct height ? ... then again, if its pilot not properly trained or avionics system misguide the pilot.

I remember that f16 crashed by Pakistani pilot during rehearsals and if I m not wrong a few jf 17 also got crashed.

It's not something uniquely happend now - these things has happened before as well during the show or rehersal

F16s have flown for thousands of hours and is a battle tested platform

JF17 have flown since 2007, have been front and center in multiple conflicts and operations and used by four airforces with more placing orders

You can't really compare those platforms to Tejas, which is used to infrequent flying, never been used in conflict and seems to fly around domestic and some international events

He brings it up so it may dilute the news and passifys his little heart.
Really incredible standard effort of deflection

"More than 10 JF-17 have crashes in various airshow"

Kya bakwaas karta hai?

somebody needs to ask them to show proof/footage of said crashes, they will probably make some AI slop as evidence

Yaar, may I ask—when the F‑16 crashed during rehearsal, did you have the same opinion about it? As far as I understand, during air shows the ground controllers provide predefined and fully planned instructions. So when such incidents occur, the responsibility usually lies with both the ground team and the pilot. And we’ve seen this happen in previous cases as well.

I am not preminded here because if you just to blame - situation could be like this as video. Reality would be different what actually a looks.... People are just trying to blame aircraft reliability or pilot training

But we have seen previously, minor mistake caused incidents in past, to me - its no difference and looks similar kind of mistakes and no recovery time since was very closed to the ground

Your air force has only one unique record at their hand, BIGGEST CRASH RATE AMONG ALL THE AIR FORCES IN THE WHOLE WORLD

A phenomenal achievement.

Yaar may I asked - f16 was crashed during rehearsal - do you same thought about it?

Why you're comparing old thousand times better and entirely new jets this is unfair comparison

in F16 can easily assess the cause of damage, specially all cases pilot ejected safely and submit the report.

Indians declaring Tejas crash as national tragedy.....what about thousands of previous crashes? MiG 21 ki aissi ki tesi phair di.....were they belong to Diwali festival?

Deep learning of pilots cognitive behaviour has to be done....otherwise ...half of Rafales naval version will sit in the areabian sea.

Right. But the timing and the venue makes it very problematic for India when we look at the events since May 2025, the evolving geopolitics with China-America thaw, Pakistan's diplomatic alliances/achievements.
This crash may not be the final nail in the coffin of Indian Air Force but now more people globally can see the coffin.

Typhoon pilot was died with similar incident.

Not sure - I am still not getting it - even I can give a few more - this kind of similar incidents we have seen it before
