Atleast they didn't blame this on us, "Pak ki na-pak sajish, hamaray larakay jahaj aur pilot Pak nishanay par, abb ki bar koi bomb nahi balkeh bheja hai terror cell me train kiya huva aik laraka parinda"

The Indian Air Force almost met its match after a pilot encountered a flock of birds upon takeoff for a training mission, nearly downing his craft and forcing him to drop a haul of fuel pods, which erupted in a fiery explosion.
Soon after taking off from an air base in Ambala for a drill on Thursday morning, an Indian Air Force (IAF) Jaguar collided with a flock of birds, causing one of its engines to fail. The pilot quickly jettisoned the craft’s fuel pods and practice munitions, known as Carrier Bomb Light Stores, allowing him to make an emergency landing, and the resulting fireball was caught on film.

Thanks to his quick reflexes, the pilot narrowly averted a deadly crash and possibly saved the lives of others, though the birds were less fortunate.

Indian military officials commended the pilot for his performance during the brief crisis.

“The pilot jettisoned his fuel tanks and external stores, including some 10 kg practice bombs, to gain height and managed to land back safely,” Air Force officials told Indian media outlet ANI, adding that the airman was an example of the “highest standards of the IAF.”

In cases of accidents or malfunctions, IAF pilots are trained to drop under-wing storage, such as bombs or fuel tanks, in order to regain control of their aircraft.

Except for the hapless birds, nobody was reported injured in the incident.

It can happen to anyone and many aircraft have crashed or gotten damaged in bird hits in Pakistan as well,one must appreciate the pilot for his quick thinking here as by the looks of it the base is surrounded by heavy population.
Give credit where it's due.
