An Indian Air Force (IAF) MiG-29 fighter jet crashed in Rajasthan’s Barmer during a routine night training mission on Monday night. “During a routine night training mission in the Barmer sector, an IAF MiG-29 encountered a critical technical snag, forcing the pilot to eject. The pilot is safe and no loss of life or property was reported. A Court of Inquiry has been ordered,” the IAF said in a statement.
“The plane crashed tonight in Barmer. The incident happened away from a populated area,” Superintendent of Police Narendra Meena told PTI. SP Meena said fire tenders have not been able to reach the crash site due to difficult terrain.
In June 2024, an IAF Sukhoi fighter plane had crashed in the Nashik district of Maharashtra. The pilot and co-pilot had ejected safely and were shifted to the HAL hospital.
