Bhanuda village
NEW DELHI
An Indian Air Force (IAF) pilot was killed after a Jaguar fighter jet crashed near Bhanuda village in the Churu district of Rajasthan, according to Indian media reports. The aircraft had taken off from the Suratgarh airbase. The Jaguar is a twin-engine fighter bomber, available in single and twin-seat variants, and is widely used by the IAF.
First inducted in the late 1970s, it has undergone significant upgrades over the years. On March 7, another IAF Jaguar crashed in Ambala following a system malfunction. The pilot steered the aircraft away from residential areas before ejecting safely.
