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

[Merzifonlu]

Rest in peace to the pilot. It seems the incident may have been caused by either a brief lapse in attention or the Tejas’s controls becoming unresponsive. I don’t believe the pilot was unconscious at the time.

Update: As per Indian experts US provided them 45 years old tech engines with under power thrust. as per them over the years USA did very little to improve the thrust since these engines were build to work as pair to power twin engine jets.

Why do you post made up stuff? The GE-F404-IN20 is a variant of the GE-F404-402 version which powers the baby Hornet, Gripen JAS-39, Rafale A, F117 NightHawk and others. The IN20 is an India specific version with higher thrust modified for hot climates developed in 2004. 85 engines were made as part of the first contract after that the production lines was dismantled since there were no more orders for many years. A follow up order of 99 engines in 2021 and another order of 113 engines in 2025.

The Indians aren't happy though.

Saw the video. Could this be the ejection attempt by the pilot?

many people are unfairly targeting the IAF alone.

Jani, this thread is about IAF crash, what do you expect from members here?
Go on full retard like Indians and ignore the issue at hand, blame Pakistan, USA? Even Dubai, because they failed to provide protection to stop this crash???

How does Indian brain works??? is there any to begin with???

Any other professional air force would have fired this Air Chief already by now, but in modern India, loyalty to Modi is more important to India than their professional abilities.

Really? Then why are they asking the air chief to resign then.

Rest in Peace. Condolences for the pilot's family and friends.

You can't tell what did or did not cause the accident until the investigation is concluded. Some of the best pilots and aircraft in the world have gone down similarly during displays, US, Russian, and Pakistani.
