Both the sdns of JFT are based at Peshawar. Does anyone know about the plane, whether it belonged to an operational sqn. or it was a newly built going through testing at Kamra?

If you are not IN it, then you don't win it.
Sadly such hazards come with fast jet flying.....even when the aircraft are on ground.

I salute the fallen pilot. May he rest in eternal peace.

GEO is giving conflicting news....

 

[Safriz]

although it depends on the circumstances at the time of the crash,and at what moment the pilot decided to eject...But still how safe is JF-17 ejection system?

Sometimes the pilots delay too much trying to save the plane or save civilians on the ground,sometimes they get hit by aircraft debris,or the speed was too much at ejection?

This is the plane we are trying to "show off" or "sell" at the dubai airshow going on?

I guess we need to sue the parachute company for these low quality stuff providing to us......

MB still is one of the best in the business!
I'm sure that they will take note of the incident to improve the quality of their equipment.
RIP to the brave pilot.
