Jaguar crashes in North Sikkim, pilot critically injured

A Jaguar fighter aircraft of the Indian Air Force crashed in a forest near Lik in Upper Dzongu in North Sikkim today, with the pilot suffering serious injuries.

The fighter jet crashed at 1:15 pm with the pilot, Flight Lieutenant Yogesh Yadav suffering critical injuries and the wreckage catching fire, Colonel Gurung of 27 Mountain Division stationed in North Sikkim told reporters.

According to eyewitnesses, there was a loud bang before the pilot bailed out.

Local people reached the crash site and rescued the pilot who was conscious and taken to a school at Lik, Col Gurung said.

The Army and Air Force were trying to land a helicopter in the school's grounds to evacuate the pilot to Siliguri, he said.

If the helicopter is unable to land, the pilot would have to be carried from Lik to the North Sikkim Highway from where he would be taken by road, he said.

The fire, which broke out in the wreckage of the aircraft, was under control, Col Gurung said.

The aircraft had taken off from Bagdogra airport near Siliguri in West Bengal, he said.

Swiss F18 fighter jet crashes in central Switzerland

A Swiss Air Force fighter jet has crashed while on a flight near Lake Lucerne. The fate of the pilot or other victims is not yet known.

The defence ministry has confirmed the accident of a two-seater F/A -18 jet above the town of Alpnach in canton Obwalden around midday on Wednesday.

Eyewitnesses said the plane flew into a mountain face, possibly while on a sortie with a second plane.

Two people were on board the plane; no information has been released about their condition.

The crash also led to the shutdown of a nearby railway line.

The Air Force acquired a fleet of 34 F/A-18 in the mid-1990s. Another plane of its type crashed in the Swiss Alps in 1998, killing two people, including the pilot.


Switzerland's frontline air force currently consists of 32 F/A18 Hornet and 54 F5 Tiger aircraft.The air force also includes Pilatus trainer aircraft and more than 40 Eurocopter helicopters, as well as drones and special transport planes.A political debate has been raging over government plans to replace the Tiger fleet by 22 JAS39 Gripen jets

KA 52 Attack Helicopter Crashes in Moscow, Two Injured

A Russian military helicopter crashed Tuesday afternoon in a district on the edge of Moscow, injuring the two pilots on board.

A law enforcement official told RIA Novosti the ejection seats on the twin-seat Kamov KA-52 Alligator attack helicopter activated inadvertently, sending it crashing to the ground near the Vykhino-Zhulebino district in southeast Moscow.

This is the second time in two years that a KA-52 helicopter has crashed.

A clearer account of the causes behind Tuesday's accident is expected to emerge as investigators study the crash site.
"All the circumstances of what took place are being established," the Investigative Committee said.

Investigators said they will check whether there are grounds for legal action.

There have been previous accidents involving the single-seat Ka-50, from which the Ka-52 is derived.

A Ka-50 crashed in June 1998 during an air display, killing the base commander at Torzhok. An official accident report said the helicopter's co-axial rotor blades had collided during hard maneuvering.

The Ka-50 and Ka-52 are unique among helicopters in having ejection seats. The seats operate after explosives in the rotor head blow off the rotor blades to allow the crew to be ejected safely.

The Ka-52 was displayed for the first time on an international platform at the 50th Le Bourget airshow in June.

Crew Escape Russian Fighter Jet Crash


Two Russian Air Force crew members ejected to safety when their MiG-31 interceptor crashed on Saturday in the Far Eastern Primorye region, local authorities said.

The aircraft went down 26 kilometers from the Tsentralnaya Uglovaya airbase near Vladivostok, after taking off at 5:07 a.m. Moscow time from the Knevichy airfield.

No-one on the ground was hurt.

The Defense Ministry later said the aircraft had suffered a failure of one of its two engines before the crash. The aircraft had just been overhauled, according to one source.

The MiG-31 is the fastest aircraft in operational service in the world. The Russian Air Force's fleet of MiG-31s is currently in the midst of an upgrade to MiG-31BM standard.

A MiG-31 of the Kazakhstan Air Force crashed in April this year, killing the pilot and injuring the navigator, the service said at that time.

Military Pilot Dies in Fighter Jet Crash in Nevada

A day after a fighter jet went down during a training exercise in western Nevada, the Navy said late Sunday that the military pilot had been killed in the crash. It took rescue crews several hours to reach the site of Saturday's crash on a Navy range training complex east of Naval Air Station Fallon because of a snow storm and mountainous, remote terrain. But there was no immediate word released about the pilot. U.S. Pacific Fleet said officials determined the pilot's status on Sunday, according to Naval Air Force spokeswoman Lt. Reagan Lauritzen. The pilot's name was being withheld pending notification of next of kin. The F/A-18C, a U.S. Marine jet on loan to the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center, went down about 70 miles east of Naval Air Station Fallon, she said. When crews arriving at the crash site they found that the aircraft was a total loss. The Navy reported incorrectly on Saturday that the jet was one of its Hornets. The Navy said that there were no reports of any other injuries or damage as a result of the crash, and the jet was not carrying any weapons or munitions on the training flight.

Army says Apache co-pilot only injury in crash landing

Taipei, April 25 (CNA) The co-pilot of one of Taiwan's new AH-64E Apache helicopters was the only one injured when the attack helicopter crashed into a residential building in Taoyuan County Friday morning during flight training, the Army said. Early reports said both the pilot and co-pilot had been injured. The aircraft had to make a forced landing on top of the three-story building because of an emergency situation. The Army said it was mostly intact despite the rough landing, and no other injuries, civilian or military, had been reported. Liu Ming-hui, the 35-year-old co- pilot who was in control of the aircraft sustained only minor scratches to his face, the Army Aviation Special Forces Command said. The accident occurred at around 10 a.m. during a flight training supervised by pilot Chen Lung- chien, an instructor who received Apache flight training in the United States, the Army said. The Army said it has formed a joint investigation team with technical representatives from the United States to look into possible causes behind the accident, which may be due to human error or mechanical failure.
