Shiv Aroor said it was badly damaged as it skidded uncontrollably at high speed and crashed off the runway.
The pilot didn't eject. If it crashed he would have been dead. He said severely damaged aka flameout.

He said it skid off the runway uncontrollably at high speed and was severely damaged, ie crash landed.

If it crashed then the plane would explode. He said severely damaged and the pilot did NOT eject. Martin Baker seats are rated for 0/0 ejection. The news was not covered anywhere else and it happened on Tuesday and was disclosed on Friday, meaning it can be taken care of at workshop.

If it crash landed then the pilot would have lost control... which he did as it skidded off the runway at high speed. The fire trucks had to come and douse the flames. The air frame is a total loss as it was both burned and bent under the stress. Whatever parts that weren't near the impact zone will be cannabalised for other aircraft. France has sent several usable air frames for free that can be used as replacements. IAF wants to keep them in service until 2034, I think this is too much to ask of it as this is the third incident this year. 2028 would be a better withdrawal date.
