JODHPUR: A MiG-27 aircraft of the Indian Air Force crashed on Sunday near Jodhpur in Rajasthan, local media reported.
The MiG-27 UPG fighter jet was on a routine mission, official sources said. It crashed in Godana near Sheoganj in Sirohi, about 180 kms from Jodhpur. The MiG-27 is a Soviet-era ground-attack aircraft that India bought in the early 1980s.
Only last month, a MiG-21 ‘Bison’ crashed in Bikaner's Shoba Sar ki Dhani area in Rajasthan after it reportedly hit a bird. The pilot of the said aircraft had managed to eject out of the jet. The crashes come after tensions soared between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the February 14 suicide bombing in Pulwama.
