The aviation world is in mourning following the devastating crash of an Indian-made HAL Tejas fighter jet at the Dubai Air Show. The tragic incident, which occurred on November 21, 2025, has left the aviation community stunned and has raised serious questions about the safety and reliability of the home-built fighter jet.
The Tejas fighter jet crashed around 2:10 PM local time, while performing a demonstration flight for a large crowd at the Dubai Air Show. The jet, which is a home-built fighter jet, was participating in the aerial display when it suddenly went down in flames, killing the pilot in the process.
Eyewitnesses and videos of the incident show the Tejas jet wobbling in mid-air and flipping sharply before losing control and crashing onto the ground. The Indian Air Force (IAF) has launched a probe into the incident to determine the cause of the crash. The IAF has also extended its condolences to the family of the pilot who lost his life in the tragic accident.
The Tejas jet is a critical component of India's defense capabilities, and the crash has raised concerns about the safety and reliability of the jet. The jet is designed and manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and is known for its advanced technology and capabilities. However, the crash has highlighted the need for stringent safety measures and regular maintenance of the jet to prevent such incidents in the future.
