A tragic incident unfolded during a night training mission when an Indian Air Force (IAF) Jaguar fighter jet crashed near Jamnagar, Gujarat, resulting in the death of one pilot while another sustained serious injuries. The aircraft, which took off from Jamnagar Air Force base, encountered a technical malfunction mid-flight, forcing both pilots to eject. While one pilot was safely rescued and is receiving medical treatment, the other succumbed to his injuries. This accident adds to growing concerns over the ageing Jaguar fleet, as it follows a similar crash near Ambala just a day earlier. The IAF has launched an inquiry into the cause of the incident, emphasizing the need for urgent modernization of its aircraft.
