This is the 2nd Indian jet to crash this month; earlier on 8th March, the Indian Air Force lost a MiG-21 after it went down while on routine patrol in Rajasthan. The reason attributed at that time was “bird hit after take off”. On February 27, the PAF – Pakistan Air Force had allegedly shot down an Indian IAF fighter jet when it violated Pakistani airspace over Azad Kashmir. However, the February 27 incident was reported differently by the IAF who had reported that it was engine failure.
