Dubai accident has once again caused Indian Air Force to face humiliation at global level' Modi disgraced in Dubai
- In aviation and engineering, the useless performances of Indian pilots and engineering also became evident in Dubai Air Show
- Media hype or promotional campaign could not hide the rotten reality' the claims exaggerated for many decades fell to the ground with the aircraft in a few seconds
- Only media publicity and praises are not enough for pilots around the world and for global competitions ' there engineering technical skills and tremendous capabilities are needed
- Modi government’s loud boasts once again became not only a cause of human but also financial loss for Indian army while also facing embarrassment at global level
During the ongoing airshow in Dubai, India’s fighter aircraft Tejas crashed and was destroyed and the pilot was killed; due to the accident, the Indian Air Force is once again facing humiliation at the global level.
According to international news agencies, the International Airshow is underway in Dubai in which aircraft from various countries and other equipment were presented.
While performing aerial stunts in the show, India’s aircraft crashed and was destroyed; the aircraft met with the accident on the last day of the airshow after which a rescue operation was immediately started.
According to the news agency, the initial report stated that the aircraft crashed and was destroyed due to a technical fault; after the accident, the airshow was temporarily suspended; the pilot of the crashed aircraft was killed.
According to the news agency, a few days earlier the oil of the Tejas aircraft had also leaked, the video of which had surfaced.
According to Indian media, the Indian Air Force has confirmed the Tejas accident and the pilot’s death; the aircraft met with the accident at 2:10 PM local time.
With the destruction of the Indian fighter aircraft Tejas at the Dubai Airshow, India’s arrogance turned into dust.
With the crash and destruction of Tejas at the Dubai Airshow, India’s self-made claims of “Atmanirbharta” collapsed on the global level.
The exaggerated claims presented for several decades, political display, and the impression created through the media fell to the ground within seconds along with the aircraft.
The transformation for which the 83-billion-dollar defense budget was declared a source eventually appeared in the form of debris scattered on the runway; this accident is not just of an aircraft but has brought before the entire world the deep decline and deterioration present in the Indian armed forces and their system.
What India kept presenting as proof of local capability, in reality exposed institutional weaknesses.
The U.S. Congress report had already pointed out corruption, lack of transparency, and political interference in Indian defense procurement, and now this accident has appeared as the practical picture of those concerns.
In the images circulating before the flight, leakage and structural weakness were evident; despite this, the authorities decided to fly the aircraft for promotional benefit.
Flying the aircraft despite the visible technical defects reveals the mindset formed by bureaucratic arrogance and a system in which impression is considered more important than reality.
In the Dubai Airshow, India wanted to showcase its military renaissance, but what emerged was the expression of the failures permeating its decision-making, engineering chain, and command structure.
This Tejas accident is a clear reminder that no narrative-building, media hype, or promotional campaign can hide the reality of a system that has become decayed from within.
The price of the Indian aircraft that was destroyed in the Dubai Air Show will blow your senses away.
Tejas aircraft are Indian-made and the foundation of this project was laid in the year 1983.
Fire broke out in the Indian Air Force’s Tejas fighter aircraft at the time when it was performing stunts in the air. The aircraft crashed to the ground within moments and burned to ashes. It should be noted that ‘Tejas’ is India’s first completely indigenous fighter aircraft. More than 50 percent of the parts of this single-engine aircraft are manufactured in India itself. The manufacturing of the Tejas aircraft in India is also an interesting story based on incompetence and negligence, and repeatedly claims of completion were made which always proved wrong. This project faced years of delay due to lack of professional skill and required capability, to the extent that the Indian Air Force had refused to use old aircraft. Somehow the Tejas aircraft was finally completed and was also included in the Indian Air Force fleet last year, but today in the Dubai Air Show it fell like an autumn leaf and crashed to the ground. The Indian Air Force had claimed that this lightweight aircraft was equipped with an indigenously developed radar and that the engine power was also excellent. According to the claims of the Modi government, this aircraft can carry eight to nine tons of weight and can travel at 1.8 times the speed of sound even at an altitude of 52 thousand feet. According to the Indian Ministry of Defense, the total value of the batch of 83 Tejas aircraft is 45,696 crore Indian rupees, meaning the cost of a Tejas Mark-1A fighter aircraft is around 550 crore rupees. This means that the Tejas aircraft is 120 crore rupees more expensive than the Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter aircraft. India’s retired Air Vice Marshal Manmohan Bahadur said that the foundation of this Tejas aircraft project was laid in the year 1983.
Why did the Indian fighter aircraft Tejas crash? Possible reasons have emerged.
Details of the possible technical defects of the Indian fighter aircraft Tejas, which crashed at the Dubai Air Show, have emerged.
Aviation experts have said that the possible faults of Tejas include: structural failure during high-G maneuvers, cracking or delamination of the wing spar under continuous G-load, structural failure of the tailplane or elevator, movement of control surfaces due to loose hinges or worn bearings, failure of the control system, jamming of aileron, elevator, or rudder due to broken linkage, breaking of control cables in older aircraft, hydraulic failure leading to unbalanced or lost control response.
Experts further stated possible issues include engine or powerplant failure, sudden engine seizure during vertical climb causing stall and spin, fuel shortage due to improper fuel pickup under negative G, propeller governor failure causing RPM to exceed limits, failure in trim or stability systems, runway trim pushing the nose up or down during maneuvers, auto-stability system failure in modern aerobatic jets, flight control surface breaking off, aileron or elevator detachment due to bolt failure, rudder hinge coming off line under high air pressure.
Experts opined that instrumentation failure leading to incorrect assessment of aircraft condition, malfunction of attitude indicator or horizon gyro during hard maneuvers, airspeed indicator blockage causing overspeed in dives, fuel or oil system failure, low oil pressure at high angles of attack causing engine shutdown, vapor lock or fuel pump failure leading to sudden engine shutdown, electrical system failure, double bus failure affecting electronic ignition or FEDAC, avionics failure controlling fly-by-wire stability, propeller or rotor system faults, cracks at propeller blade roots causing imbalance or blade breakage, can all cause the aircraft to crash.
Experts added that loss of control of constant-speed propeller, high-speed aerodynamic failure, control surface stall from shocks in high-speed pull-outs, or canopy detachment causing sudden drag and instability are also possible causes of the aircraft’s destruction.
Modi Ji, have mercy on your pilots; the horrific history of Indian military aircraft crashes.
The fighter aircraft given to the military by the Modi government, including the MiG series and Tejas, fell like autumn leaves.
The wreckage of destroyed warplanes and helicopters reflects the professional incompetence, negligence, and lack of knowledge of the Indian military, in which 600 pilots have also been killed.
The history of Indian Air Force fighter jets and helicopters crashing is very bitter and bloody. Whether it is MiG aircraft or the latest Tejas planes, they have proven to be flying coffins for Indian pilots.
The Indian Air Force’s retired MiG aircraft include MiG-21, MiG-27, and MiG-29, while the Tejas aircraft were recently inducted into the fleet.
The incidents of Indian Air Force fighter jets and helicopters crashing are numerous and detailed, with the total exceeding a thousand.
**Tejas Aircraft Accidents**
Tejas aircraft are manufactured in India. After years of research and spending countless resources, these planes were added to the Indian Air Force fleet just last year.
Immediately after joining the fleet, on 12 March 2024, the first Tejas aircraft crashed during a training exercise in the state of Rajasthan. The pilot ejected in time to save his life, letting the billion-rupee aircraft fall to the ground.
The second Tejas crash occurred today at the Dubai Air Show, where fire broke out during aerial stunts, leaving the pilot no time to eject. The aircraft crashed to the ground with the pilot inside.
Thus, in just one year, two Tejas aircraft have crashed, even though India had called them its greatest achievement to date, with Modi attending the handover ceremony of the fleet.
**MiG Aircraft Accidents (MiG-21, MiG-27, MiG-29)**
**MiG-21**
The accident rate of MiG-21 aircraft has been alarming. Out of approximately 468 accidents, 200 pilots were killed. These were the longest-serving aircraft.
On 3 May 2002, a MiG-21 crashed onto a building in the Jalandhar area after engine failure. The pilot ejected safely, but the plane fell on a residential house, killing 8 people and injuring 17.
Similarly, in 2018, a MiG-21 crashed in the Kangra area, killing the pilot.
**MiG-27**
The MiG-27 was introduced to the Indian Air Force in 1985 but did not prove very successful.
On 16 February 2010, a MiG-27 crashed in the Siliguri area due to engine failure.
On 27 January 2015, another MiG-27 crashed near Rajasthan. These aircraft suffered from engine failures, hydraulic issues, and ejection problems.
As a result, the MiG-27 was retired on 27 December 2019 and is no longer part of the fleet.
**MiG-29**
MiG-29 aircraft, inducted into the Indian Air Force fleet in 1986, have experienced at least 25 major accidents to date.
On 8 May 2020, a MiG-29 crashed near Jalandhar city. The pilot ejected safely.
Similarly, on 2 September 2024, another MiG-21 crashed during a night training flight in Rajasthan, but the pilot survived.
On 4 November 2024, during a routine flight in Agra, another MiG-21 crashed, and the pilot ejected safely.
Overall, the MiG series, especially the MiG-21, can be considered highly dangerous in the history of the Indian Air Force. The same concerns are now being raised about the modern Tejas aircraft.

The Tejas fighter jet, which crashed at the Dubai Air Show, was prohibited from being showcased by the Indian Air Force due to its defects, but political pressure overruled the decision.
The destruction of the Indian Tejas fighter jet is, in reality, a reflection of India's institutional failure; changing specifications, technology gaps, and unclear designs stalled the Tejas development program.
During the production of the Tejas aircraft, concerns were raised about hall production and manufacturing quality. Issues like panel misalignment, leakage, and vibration were repeatedly reported during Tejas production.
The indigenous engine in the Tejas failed, the GE engine did not match the airframe, thrust, smart load, and thermal pressure issues emerged; stability problems at low speeds, pilot input, and autopilot conflicts also appeared in the early stages of Tejas production. The Indian Air Force had consistently expressed dissatisfaction with Tejas' performance, range, and maintenance, but political pressure turned Tejas into a showpiece; technical flaws were hidden, and the result was disaster. The aircraft was sent to the international show without complete software, hydraulic issues resolved, or radar upgrades.
The crash of Tejas in Dubai truly reflects India's institutional failure.
