Airforce Plane Crash: An unfortunate accident occurred earlier today during a training exercise of the Indian Air Force, as two fighter jets – a Sukhoi Su-30 and a Mirage 2000 – crashed, resulting in the tragic loss of one pilot. The Sukhoi aircraft went down in Morena, Madhya Pradesh, while the Mirage is believed to have crashed around 100 km away in Bharatpur, Rajasthan.
The airplanes were on routine exercise
According to sources, the Sukhoi had a crew of two pilots, while the Mirage had one pilot. Both types of aircraft are commonly used by the Indian Air Force in active operations. The two pilots on the Sukhoi were able to eject and were transported to the hospital via helicopter.
Both fighter planes took off from the Gwalior Air Force facility, which is home to squadrons of both the French Mirage 2000 and the Russian Sukhoi. Videos from the incident, which were captured by people in Morena, showed burning aeroplane parts scattered over the ground. To determine if a mid-air contact caused the disaster, the Air Force has opened an investigation.
The head of the Indian Air Force has briefed Rajnath Singh on the accident of two planes.
Taking to Twitter, Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj wrote, “The news of the crash of Sukhoi-30 and Mirage-2000 aircraft of the Air Force near Kolaras in Morena is very sad. I have instructed the local administration to cooperate with the Air Force in quick rescue and relief work. I pray to God that the pilots of the planes are safe.”
