[Globaltracker81]

Nice "upgrade" by HAL

Upgrades are done by Dassault I believe.

An eye witness, Brijesh, who runs a carpentry outlet close to the airport Wall, said he and many others in the neighbourhood saw the aircraft catch fire in the air. But even as they watched in horror, the pilots ejected out. However, the blaze from the crashing jet instantly spread to the parachute. "When we rushed to the spot where the pilots fell, one of them was fully burnt except his face. He had lost consciousness," recalled Brijesh.

That is a horrific end.

The Mirage 2000 that crashed today was freshly upgraded at HAL. The 2 young pilots, both Squadron Leaders, were on an acceptance test sortie. We’ve just received the terribly tragic news that both perished after ejection.

One landed in crashed fighter on fire.
Dead on the spot.

High speed take off rejected leading to low level ejection .

Some sources claiming that this is the 17th IAF Mirage-2000 to crash.

11th accident. Their fleet is down to 48 Mirage 2000 fighter and conversion trainers.

Rest in peace. IAF should replace old aircraft with tejas asap. Or they can purchase jf 17 thunders from pakistan
