RIP.Old junk killing pilots on both sides.

Is a bomb explosion being considered a possibility. Given the mid air explosion theory

Every inch of a fighter jet is packed with something sensitive, a minor fire can prove catastrophic. Here you can see a perfect looking flight disintegrates after going supersonic.

If we look at wikipedia data all major crashes occured after 2006-2007. We lost many planes mirages, f-7s, mushak and one f-16. Do you think quality of maintenance went down or corruption is rising?

Fair point. Wanted to know if sabotage is an angle being explored.

Nein, I would be more suspecting of bird strike. People in the area dump their garbage that includes old food items all around the flightpath of airfields(due to the open space surrounding them and the rather easy way one can throw their trash out there instead of making the effort to take it to the trash dumps). This attracts scavengers by the dozens and has led to many bird strikes in the past. Both seagulls, eagles and crows throng the flightpath of some localities.
In certain cases this led to increasing the airfield perimeter to deter these poor or ignorant folk that live near the area from dumping their trash near the field. It is sad that just due to poor hygiene and bad attitude of both the people and the municipal government, pilots lose their lives.

The IAF finally took the inititave in a much more comprehensive role as it has suffered just as much(or more in some cases due to the geographical location of some IAFS).

The biggest damage to aircraft is caused by vultures, kites and other raptors. Vultures and kites are basically scavengers which feed on the offal matter that is thrown in the open. Availability of this food in the vicinity of the aerodrome increases their population and thereby dangerously increases the

At 00:57, is that the helmet? In a previous screenshot of the same area, there is a parachute and something resembling a mangled seat over there as well.

At 00:45, good to see the respect people have for military professionals.

As disclosed before, just to avoid the bus terminal, the pilot stayed with his aircraft until the last moment, it seems once in the clear, he ejected but being so low his parachute failed to deploy. A supreme sacrifice indeed.

Plane crashes in Karachi's Baldia Town; two pilots killed - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

According to the above link, it was a Mirage (Although the spellings are wrong).

Yes Mirage Both Pilots Wg Cdr Khurram and Sqd Leader Umair has embraced Shahadat. Other reports says it came low as there were pole electrical wires.

RIP to the brave warriors!!!!
PAF should seriously consider replacement of these fighters with JF-17s as soon as more are available. We are losing precious lives because of these old birds.

From what I have read on this case, I will be very surprised if it isn't a bird hit.
