Indian Air Force Jaguar Jet Crashes in Rajasthan, Killing Both Pilots

Two Indian Air Force pilots were killed when a Jaguar fighter jet crashed during a routine training mission in Rajasthan’s Churu district. The aircraft went down in an open field near Bhanoda village, causing no civilian casualties. The IAF confirmed the fatalities and has ordered a court of inquiry to determine the cause. This marks the third Jaguar crash in recent months, raising concerns over the ageing fleet, which has been in service since the 1970s and is due for retirement.
