A pilot was also died in the incident of the Indian fighter jet 'Tejas' crash at the Dubai Air Show.
This news has become a major topic at the global level, causing not only loss of life but also financial loss for India and the Indian Army.
The Tejas fighter jet of the Indian Air Force caught fire while it was performing stunts in the air. The plane crashed on sight and burned to ashes.
It should be remembered that 'Tejas' is India's first completely indigenous fighter jet. More than 50 percent of the parts of the single-engine aircraft are manufactured in India.
This project was delayed for a long time due to lack of professional skills and required capabilities, to the extent that the Indian Air Force refused to use the old aircraft.
As soon as the Tejas aircraft was ready and joined the Indian Air Force fleet last year, it fell like an autumn leaf and crashed at the Dubai Air Show today.
The Indian Air Force had claimed that this lightweight aircraft is equipped with an indigenously developed radar and has excellent engine power.
According to the Modi government's claims, this aircraft can carry eight to nine tons of weight and can travel 1.8 times the speed of sound even at an altitude of 52,000 feet.
According to the Indian Ministry of Defense, the total cost of the shipment of 83 Tejas aircraft is 45,696 crore Indian rupees, that is, the cost of the Tejas Mark 1A fighter aircraft is about 550 crore rupees.
This means that the Tejas aircraft is 120 crore rupees more than the Sukhoi 30 MKI fighter aircraft.
Retired Air Vice Marshal of India Manmohan Bahadur said that the foundation of this Tejas aircraft project was laid in 1983.
