Reports from Dubai confirm that India’s Tejas fighter jet crashed during the Dubai Airshow, resulting in the death of the pilot.
Witnesses say the jet began to wobble in the air shortly after starting its demonstration, before suddenly descending at high speed and catching fire.
Security and emergency authorities arrived at the scene promptly, but the pilot did not survive due to the severe explosion that followed the crash.
India has announced it will conduct a full investigation to determine the cause of the accident, especially considering that the Tejas is one of the country’s important and modern fighter jets.
The Airshow organizing committee stated that some flight demonstration activities have been suspended while the site is cleaned and information about the incident is being collected.
