Jaguar airframes are being provided to IAF for upgrades to DARIN III standard.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.

Nothing in this life is free. If anything, this may be for Meteor missiles sales.
The plane had an undercarriage fire which happens when you overspeed planes as shown in pictures. If you have pictures to show a mangled airframe then it could be true else it was just a flameout. If it skidded out of control and crashed pilot would be dead unless ejected. He didn't and is still alive. Even India Today is sole source of this news.
