After watching the footage again, I’m convinced the accident was entirely the pilot’s fault. He cut the final turn maneuver too early, and when he realized the error, he panicked and ended up crashing fatally.

They're blaming everyone except moon sun and stars. I think they're blaming the quality of turbine which is rubbish because 404/414 series is one of the best in its class in the market. However, mismatch of airframe and turbine dimensions if not properly calibrated can wreak havoc on both in the longer run. It's a painstaking but extremely necessary factor and frankly one of the reasons why PAF is reluctant in swithching to Ws13/19 series for Thunder.

Actually if it is an engine/airframe issue this will give the IAF just the excuse they need to finally walk away from this disaster of a project

Nor according to the Indians. The US engine didn't deliver.

The Indians have spent 4 decades on this failure. It has become an ego issue. Walking away would mean accepting defeat.

This will fizzle out. The Indians won't investigate this. The pilot was heroic and he did India proud is how this will end.

1. 45 years old tech (engines).
2. Developed for twin jet engines.
3. Not much improvement to make thrust more.
4. We beg to get engines but USA nit sent so we have only MK1A latest variant two jets we have sent to demonstrate tech.
5 Since we have only two jets they are over used in training while pilots have less hours to get trained.
6. One jet start leaking other one used for demo crashed.
7. Pakistanis are there, USA did not provide even paid engines, Russians put black magic while French also enemy since they did not share source code for Ra-Phales.

Reminds me a poem.


Mien aor mera Somalia Duniya k Dushman...
Mien Aor mera Qabeela Somalia k Dushman...
Mien Aor mera Khandaan Apney Qabeeley k Dushman..
Mien Aor mera bhai apney khandaan k Duhman...

Aor mien apnay bhai ka dushman.....Period.
