JAMNAGAR, GUJARAT: A MiG-21 fighter aircraft of the Indian Air Force (IAF) crashed near Bed village in Jamnagar district on Friday while the pilot managed to eject safely, police said.

"A MiG-21 crashed at Rasoolnagar area near Bed village, 20-km from Jamangar city," district superintendent of police Neeraj Badgujar told .

"The pilot safely ejected and landed in tide-pool created by the sea water near the spot," he said.

The pilot, who sustained injuries, was later rescued by an IAF chopper, Badgujar said, adding police and fire brigade officials had reached the spot.

No IAF officials were immediately available for comment.

In 2012, two IAF choppers had collided and crashed near the same spot between Bed and Samrath villages and nine personnel were killed.

A MiG-27 fighter aircraft crashed last Tuesday in Rajasthan's Barmer district.

this is alarming, unnecessarily risking the lives of good pilots,
why dont you indians just retire them,I mean you guys already have a huge airforce.it shouldnt be that big of a problem getting rid of 400 odd mig 21's.
there are plenty of other jets.

I am beginning to believe that these so-called crashes are deliberate acts by IAF pilots who seem to be always safely ejected from flying coffins of whatever descriptions。
