Indian home-grown fighter jet crashes in a ball of fire at Dubai Airshow, killing pilot
The Straits Times
|November 22, 2025
An Indian home-produced Tejas fighter jet crashed in a ball of fire at the Dubai Airshow during an aerial display on Nov 21, killing its pilot. The Indian Air Force (IAF) said it was setting up a court of inquiry to investigate the cause.

Footage from the site showed black smoke rising behind a fenced airstrip. Dubai’s government shared a photograph of firefighting teams dousing smouldering wreckage.
The fighter had been flying at a low altitude at around 2.15pm before it went down, according to a witness.
It was the second known crash of the fighter jet, which is built by state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and powered by General Electric (GE) engines.
The first crash was during an exercise in India in 2024.
The homegrown jet, whose name means “brilliance” in Sanskrit, is seen as crucial for India’s efforts to modernise its air force fleet of mainly Russian and former Soviet fighters.
