lolz coward indians in order to kill few hundred pakistani soldiers move its division along with airforce and para commandos what a brave army hahahahah with out IAF LGB ur hijra army was unable to capture different posts from our nothern light infantry thats how brave ur army is ... thank ur IAF mirage and 2000kg laser guided bombs kiddo

You guys did not capture any post after fighiting the Indian army that you can gloat about. All that the PA posing as terrorists (dont know if there is a difference)did was occupy posts that were left vacant for the winter by the Indian army. In other words all you did was enter someones home when they are out of town and claim it as an acheivement.

Secondly Pakistan was the coward that did not fight back when we were hounding your forces in Kargil. Where was your brave super duper airforce when we were slaughtering your troops?

The IAF An-32 aircraft that had a "Category 5 Landing Incident" at Chandigarh AFB.

All eleven on board have made it out relatively unscathed.
Hats off to the IAF pilot/s!
EDIT:The Aircraft is a 'write-off'.

I wonder if it was the upgraded IAF An-32 aircraft. Any Ideas ?

.............. just keeps getting better and better. Reminds me of the time when the IAF crashed a brad new C 130

Error in piloting is understood to have been found as the reason behind the crash of Air Force’s C-130J Super Hercules aircraft in March in which five service personnel, including four officers, were killed near Gwalior. The Court of Inquiry is almost complete and error in piloting is believed to have been the reason behind the crash, highly placed IAF sources said. - See more at:

Pilot error led to C-130J Hercules crash: IAF sources | The Indian Express



But clearly its not the IAF fault, its the fault of the politicians, else its the fault of the HAL or DRDO ........ IAF is beyond reproach, they are perfect.

Seems to be an undercarriage failure on the stbd side main gear. Either it collapsed or it gave up under hard-landing conditions causing the aircraft to cart-wheel and turn turtle.

The starboard wing(Which houses the engine+landing gear) is not in the picture.
And in the second pic,I see some blackening on the aft section just before the empennage so fuel leak?
Anyways we'll have to wait for the official IAF enquiry.
