Somewhere on X i read most of Indian expert based on reality perception said that India should buy equipment which they can maintain. They said that maintaining these west equipment like Rafale etc is not an easy job that is why i suppose mig 21 india alone crashed 400. They said that should buy stuff only that can be maintained even if it is a downgraded to some extent buy in longer run at least those equipment suppose to run.
 
Looks like insufficient altitude to execute the negative G. Probably pilot error nothing wrong with the aircraft. At least it Looks that way. It didn't dip too fast either so the turbine might still be working. Turbine failure would've induced brick effect.

EVERYONE...see this is the video.

As he is passing the spectators...he comes in Straight. Then he banks RIGHT. Then he (attempts) to bank RIGHT again - intending to be INVERTED & fly straight.

That is when it all goes wrong. He couldn't continue to fly further (INVERTED).

As he loses altitude, he may have attempted to recover, but it was just too late.

I would urge everyone to see the previous TEJAS demo from the past 4 Days & see how the Pilot executed it perfectly earlier, but...just not his day.

It would be interesting if someone had the technical skills to overlay videos of the same display from two different flights, that would clearly show how this demo flight deviated from his previous ones.
 
That may or may not be the deceased Pilot in the background. Not certain.

Bloody hell...

Something is seriously wrong with the IAF

But because Indians are so ego driven, they won't fix it properly, they are more concerned with covering it up and appearing like some Uber super force

The results are repeated humiliation one way or the other, followed by tedious Indian delusional fantasy and denial
