An IAF MiG-29 fighter jet was seen in a flat spin earlier than it crashed
New Delhi:
A video exhibiting an Indian Air Power (IAF) MiG-29 fighter jet hurtling in the direction of the bottom in a flat spin has gone viral.
The fighter jet crashed in a area close to Uttar Pradesh’s Agra earlier at this time. The IAF has stated the MiG-29 encountered a “system malfunction” earlier than it crashed. The pilot ejected safely after taking the crippled fighter jet to a route the place there can be no harm or casualties on the bottom.
Within the video, the MiG-29 is seen falling quick in a flat spin earlier than it hits the bottom.
A flat spin happens when an plane enters an uncontrolled spinning movement. It’s a harmful and doubtlessly a life-threatening flight situation.
The IAF stated it has ordered an enquiry to determine the reason for the accident.
Earlier than at this time’s accident, the final crash of a MiG-29 fighter jet occurred on September 2 in Rajasthan’s Barmer. A “vital technical snag” was cited for the accident then. The pilot had ejected safely.
The erstwhile USSR constructed the primary MiG-29 in 1983. India purchased them in 1987 and inducted them the identical yr. Since then the fighter jet has been upgraded to maintain up with new applied sciences.
