An IAF Jaguar Trainer aircraft met with an accident during a routine training mission and crashed near Churu in Rajasthan, today. Both pilots sustained fatal injuries in the accident. No damage to any civil property has been reported.
IAF deeply regrets the loss of lives and stands firmly with the bereaved families in this time of grief. A court of inquiry has been constituted, to ascertain the cause of the accident.
This is the third Jaguar fighter jet crash this year; the first was in Haryana’s Panchkula on March 7 and the second was near Jamnagar in Gujarat on April 2.
This particular plane took off from Rajasthan’s Suratgarh Air Force base.
