Indian air force grounds fighter jets after crash
The Indian Air Force (IAF) has grounded its entire fleet of Sukhoi fighter jets after one crashed during a routine training exercise in Rajasthan state.
All 100 such planes have been grounded as the IAF carries out "precautionary checks" following the crash.
The plane is the same type that the Indian president, Pratibha Patil, flew in last month.
