According to Squadron leader Baqir Ali, PAF Mirage jetbearing tale number 921 took off from Masroor Base, before it crashed near Musharraf Colony. The pilot died on the spot, police officials stated.

“The pilot ejected from the aircraft and sustained fatal injuries,” PAF spokesperson said in a statement, adding that though the pilot did not survive himself, he “succeeded in saving precious lives on ground.”

“No loss of civilian life or property has been reported. A board of inquiry has been ordered by Air Headquarters to determine the cause of the accident,” the statement read.

Last month, a PAF pilot was killed as his fighter jet crashed in Jamrud, Khyber Agency. “The pilot of the aircraft Flt Lt Omer Shazad sustained fatal injuries,” the military’s media wing ISPR said. The PAF aircraft was on a routine operational training mission.

Really hope that contradictory reports are correct and Pilot is safe !

Why didn't they eject?

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

We have lost so many pilots recently just because of flying these obsolete junks. Will somebody question Air chief here ? whats going wrong with our pilots/training and skill level as a whole ? Why so many crashes are occurring in the last 2-3 years. This is really embarrassing no matter how much we try to ignore it especially when we taunt IAF and their crashes. I think label of flying coffins should be passed over to PAF from IAF now.

The nation is sick of all this subjective BS. Even during interviews all we hear is narrative such as We are ready and this and that, All BS. What are our military planners doing and can they ever speak in objective terms and tell us that they can defend us because if they can defend us partially then there is no point in wasting the 8 billion we spend? Since 1947 we are hearing that we are poor and our policy is defensive and that we cannot spend and BS.

Sad to see that many of the members in this forum refer to your front-line fighter jets as junks/flying coffins and so on.
It's infact derogatory to the makers who built these jets , the and engineers who care for them, the soldiers who use these machines to defend your frontiers.
Media sensationalism apart its not good to refer to something as " flying coffins " just because there have been poor performance and recent crashes.

The recent rise in crashes for PAF in my opinion is directly related to the higher number of sorties since the Indian hostilities.

You cant crash a jet if you don't fly it .

Peace and salute to the pilot who gave his life to defend your country.

Plz Edit your thread title....
He Martyred not killed RIP

I can't wait for reports. I suppose he was near the ground
since ejection did not save him. That's one disadvantage
of older jets : lacking a zero-zero pop-up seat.

In any case, R.I.P. brother, eternal thanks for your service,
Tay.

RIP. My condolences to his family.

All Pakistani jet retro fitted with zero zero ejection seats but most of the times Pakistani pilots don't wants to eject over populated area and to save civilians the prefer to give their lives.
