Twenty-nine aircraft of the Indian Air Force have crashed due to technical defects and human error over the last five years, the government said on Friday.

Subhash Bhamre, Minister of State in the Defence Ministry, said every aircraft accident in the IAF is investigated by a Court of Inquiry (CoI) to ascertain the cause of the accident and the recommendations of the completed COIs are implemented.

"During the last five financial years (2012-13 to 2016- 17) and the current year (upto July 18), 29 fighter jets including five Sukhoi-30 and three trainer have crashed. Technical defects and human error were the main causes of the accidents," Bhamre said in a written response to a question in the Lok Sabha.
