🚨A Pakistani Air Force plane has crash-landed in agricultural fields west of Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Good to see that the pilots are safe.
Accidents happen. Part of the process.
 

Find it fascinating that some many little dark Indians sit on PDF - Scanning the internet for "bad news relating to Pakistan".
So many B52s are falling out of the sky - they dont even report it - just dont bother with the flying coffins.

They seem to forget they come from a land with more beggars than the whole of Africa and millions starving every night - people sh1tting in the streets and disease rife - yet still focusing on their neighbour - giving little attention to their own issues. Perhaps its a way for them to make them feel taller or less dark?

Pilot showed extreme talent to make sure no loss of life and all was safe. Job well done.
 
For PAF, plane is safe as well. 🙏
Army Aviation, its an old Mushak.. use it for:
Recce
Arty Observation
Training
Transport

Mushshak has a horrible safety record in PAF/PAA hands.
16 accidents in just 10-11 years, when prop planes are supposed to much safer than fighters.

Horrible record? Your airforce has managed to crash that number in a year. Just couple of days back they collided 2 french n Russian top of the line fighters mid air.

Almost a thousand are flying with multiple air forces around the world. Some even used by civilian flying schools.
Turkey , South Africa, Oman, KSA, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Qatar, Azerbaijan etc operate them.
Pakistan itself operates hundreds of them.
Some old airframes are decades old variants from the 80s.
 
Mashak doesn't have ejection seats. It was sheer skill of the pilot to make this crash landing.

That said,
Mashak is by design a very stable plane, and it is not easy to jeopardize aerodynamically.
The high wing design, and the wing profile make it very stable,

Mechanical failure would be my guess, probably on the elevator.
