Great job.
Though crash isin't the topic here, 26th Squadron crew confirmed about the crash to be a bird-hit.
It happened a few minutes after take-off. A bird got sucked in the intakes. The Thunder was in the area of civilian presence, so Squadron Leader Mohammed Hussain Shaheed tried his luck to divert the jet towards a nearby hill. He then informed the control tower and ejected. Due to low height and angel of ejection, the parachutes failed to open and he was found 3KM away from the crashed jet.
This was new Thunder made at Kamra for third Squadron.
Anyways, around only 30 jets (18 of them newly induced 3 months ago) and 10,000 sorties is a huge job!
26 sqn is in peshawar n the thunder that crashed was from kamra manufactured for the third sqn so the crew r not authentic sources for this accident.they would not be a part of the inquiry committee established to find out the cause of the accident.
jft has 0-0 ejection seat which means pilot should be able to eject safely at 0 altitide n 0 speed.y our pilot is not alive then?
jft took of from kamra n reached attock n still it was flying at such a low altitude that its engine sucked a bird.it is a fighter jet designed to gain altitude in seconds n not minutes.
i cant understand any of this
