Damn shame, the aircraft is pretty good so this may be due to pilot error.

Let's wait for the report to be sure though.

This k-8 accident happened at a time when BAF is in the process of buying a few other K-8 training aircraft from China.

Chinese plane. It has quite a bad history. 7+ crashes 10 years.

both pilots died trying to save the aircraft...nd i dont think it was pilots fault..nd both are squadron leader,so they were experienced as well..

It's a trainer, having a higher than usual crash rate is expected. Inexperienced pilots are more prone to mistakes.

Asalamu Alaikum

Let's wait for the report. Experienced pilots can still make mistakes.

Well we needed an Airfirce to bomb the crap out of a terror outfit named "Mukti Bikini" or bahini or whatever that shit was called.

Seems like you still hold too much hatred for Mukti Bahini, and that hatred extended to Bangladesh in general. Not good for your health.

Why Pak even have an AF? Chinese AF is all you need.
