An Indian Air Force (IAF) Tejas fighter jet, built with indigenous technology, was involved in an accident on February 7 at a key military base, according to an IAF statement released on Monday. The single-seat aircraft was returning from a training flight when its brakes failed during landing, causing it to veer off the runway and sustain damage. The pilot ejected safely, and no casualties were reported.
The Tejas, developed by state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), was formally inducted into the IAF on January 17, 2015. The crashed jet belonged to a batch of about 30 single-seat Tejas aircraft currently in service. Following the incident, all aircraft from the same batch have been temporarily grounded for inspection.
This marks the third Tejas crash to date. The first occurred in March 2024 near Jaisalmer, and the second during the Dubai Air Show, which resulted in the death of Wing Commander Naman Sale. The February 7 crash is the latest in this sequence.
