NEW DELHI: A MiG-29K fighter jet of the Indian Navy crashed near Goa on Sunday morning. The pilot ejected safely.
“Today morning at around 1030h a MiG-29K aircraft on a routine training sortie crashed off Goa. The pilot of the aircraft ejected safely and has been recovered,” a Navy spokesperson said in a statement. An enquiry to investigate the incident had been ordered, he added.
India had contracted 45 MiG-29K carrier based fighters from Russia in two batches, 16 fighters in 2004 along with the contract for acquiring aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya and another 29 fighters in 2010. In fact, India was the first launch customer of the carrier variant of MiG-29 even before the Russian Navy.
The MiG-29K fleet saw two more accidents, one in January 2018 and another in November last year. In both cases, the pilots ejected safely.
The MiG-29Ks based in Goa currently fly off the deck of INS Vikramaditya and will in near future from the indigenous carrier Vikrant.
When was the last time IAF mig29 crashed..? Problem is the base itself , even last time birds were blamed for accidents in November.
Confirmed as F-16 from the aircraft silhouette in this video. It looks like the pilot passed out during the maneuver and hence no ejection. RIP
wc noman akram died just now in islamabad in an f16 crash during 23 match fly past rehearsal . winner of sherafgan award in 2019
It’s a PorkiShitani F-16 Piloted by Porki Wing Commander Noman Akram of 9th Squadron Griffins (Info Unconfirmed) Porki PISSPR Didn’t Verify anything yet but Can’t hide the Death because a lot of Porki took videos of the crash and spread it on the internet. Looks like the Porki Pilot didn’t eject because there is no Parachute Visible in the Sky so we can assume the Porki might be dead.
great thing is that they can't hide it just like previous crashes.
LoL Porki Bastard got what he deserved. LoL Porki Air Shit and there Swift Fart Operation.
3 pilots who were part of operation swift retard are dead now and the ssg commando who was behind the capture of abhinandan is also dead. looks like Allah is paying them back.
RAW .. pakis will say RAW cuz RAW is God in pakistan
Dude I think it's not right for you to use such kind of language especially on a dead person who was practicing for an airshow and not harming us. It degrades the quality of the forum (which is crap already due to lack of moderation).
He could've controlled the jet if only he would've maintained an altitude, video shows that he took a very tight maneuver, not even a full loop, I would rather say a partial loop. He came in nose dive, then went Over-G, at this point no sane pilot could be conscious to see the day. If the altitude would've been higher the F16 internal Post-Stall recovery software would've taken back the control for few moments until pilot recovers consciousness.
this guy won their sher afgun trophy. Shows the poor quality of training and the overconfidence
