Yup, so it's either the other drop tank which exploded or the projectile which the aircraft was carrying.Looks like a Mirage drop tank
That's a lotta load to be dropping off.
So it seems that the aircraft jettisoned it's external load , drop tanks and the weapons it was carrying.
Hopefully the aircraft landed safelyYup, so it's either the other drop tank which exploded or the projectile which the aircraft was carrying.
We would have known if it had been otherwise.Hopefully the aircraft landed safely
Just realized. J-10 has similar drop tanks tooLooks like a Mirage drop tank

A lotta questions that need to be addressed...
If it was a technical/mechanical snag - the Pilot had little time to limp the jet back to base & had to reduce weight*.
*Fuel/Weight also to be taken into consideration.
He probably had little time to go through the checklist, maintain air speed & possibly bank the jet towards the base.

Was it the new jet powered air defense drone?Please stop spreading this video , its a old video from Khoshab district of a fighter jet fuel tank and has nothing to do with this new incident.
After talking to various sources i think it has been confirmed that it was one of our drone for sure and wasn't shot down either but crashed.

Looks like an aircraft had to jettison all external stores for some reason.Here's a video from the location....this seems like a drop tank.

It’s not a drone either, they don’t make several feet deep craters.if it was a drone and is down by AD, then can we have wreckage at one place and not scattered around in a large area?
It's very clearly a triangular drop tank, if a drop tank. Is there any jet in Pakistan with triangular drop tanks?

The impact would have changed it's shape. Looks weathered most likely belongs to a Mirage.It's very clearly a triangular drop tank, if a drop tank. Is there any jet in Pakistan with triangular drop tanks?
It is not round.
@Windjammer I saw the same pics minutes after on Twitter yesterday, these are most probably not from the same incident as it was clearly night and very dark.Here's a video from the location....this seems like a drop tank.
