Dubai Air Show ke aakhri din ek afsosnaak haadsa us waqt hua jab India ka indigenous fighter jet Tejas apni demonstration flight ke dauran crash ho gaya. Haadsa Friday ko 2:10pm local time par hua, jahan hazaron log flying display dekh rahe the.
Crash Kaise Hua?
Social media par phailne wali videos mein dikha gaya ke Tejas ek low-altitude maneuver ke baad stabilize nahi kar saka aur zameen se takra kar aag ka gola ban gaya. Crash site se ghanay dhuaan ke badal uthte nazar aaye aur emergency gaadiyan foran moqa par dodi aayi.Eye-witnesses ke mutabiq jet show venue se lagbhag 1.6 km door crash hua.
Pilot Ki Death – IAF Ka Bayaan
Indian Air Force ne X par confirm kiya ke:
- Jet Tejas demonstration ke dauran crash hua
- Pilot Wing Commander Namansh Syal, 34 saal, ne iss haadse mein jaan gawa di
- IAF ne gehera dukh ka izhar kiya aur kaha ke haadse ki wajah jaane ke liye court of inquiry banai ja rahi hai
UAE ki aviation authority abhi tak is baat par khamosh hai ke investigation ki qiyadat kis ke paas hogi, jabke Indian embassy UAE officials se rabetay mein hai.
‘Oil Leak’ Controversy – Social Media Ka Hungama
Airshow ke shuruat mein hi social media par tasweerein viral ho gayi theen jismain Tejas ke neeche shopping bags rakhe dikhe ja rahe the, logon ne isay ‘oil leak’ ka masla qarar diya.
Lekin India ke Press Information Bureau (PIB) ne clarification di:
- Yeh koi malfunction nahi
- Routine draining and condensation removal ka process hai
- Ye procedure pre-flight checks ka hissa hota hai
Tejas Ka Safety Record
- Dubai crash Tejas ka second known crash hai
- Pehla haadsa 2024 mein ek training exercise ke dauran India mein hua tha
Tejas program ko pichle kuch saalon mein design issues, delays aur engine supply problems ka bhi samna karna para. GE Engines, jo Tejas ko power deti hain, supply chain issues ke sabab 99 ordered engines mein se sirf 4 deliver kar sake hain.
Crash Ka Asar – Export Hopes Ko Nuqsan?
Dubai Air Show duniya ka teesra bara aerospace show mana jata hai. India yahan Tejas ke liye foreign buyers ka interest check kar raha tha. Lekin:
- Crash ne export image ko zor ka jhatka diya
- Yeh Tejas ka pehla major crash kisi international stage par hua
Tejas fighter jet ke Dubai Airshow mein crash hone ke baad Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) ke shares mein 2.62% ki kami dekhi gayi. Yeh waqia live aerial display ke dauran hua, jo India ke aviation sector ke liye ek aur aham challenge samjha ja raha hai.
Aankh dekhay gawahon ke mutabiq, jet ne achanak neeche ki taraf dive li aur runway ke qareeb aag bharak uthi, jis ke baad show ko kuch dair ke liye roka gaya. Tejas ka yeh doosra major crash hai, pehla hadsa 2015 ke baad Rajasthan mein aik training flight ke dauran report hua tha.
Pak – India Rivalry Ka Shadow
Airshow ke dauran dono mulkon ke fighter jets maujood the:
- Pakistan ne JF-17 ko “battle-tested” label ke saath promote kiya, Pavilion mai JF-17 Thunder Block III ke liye ek “friendly country” ke saath provisional agreement sign kiya gya. Static display par JF-17 ke saath Chinese PL-15E missiles bhi showcase ki gayi.
- India ne Tejas ko conflict mein actively use nahi kiya, na hi iss saal Republic Day flypast mein shamil kiya, single-engine safety concerns ki wajah se
Haadsa Kya Batata Hai?
Experts kehte hain ke yeh waqt se pehle nateeja nikalna ghalat hoga. Crash ki asal wajah mechanical failure, pilot error ya aerodynamic issue, kuch bhi ho sakta hai. Investigation ke baad hi tasveer saaf hogi.
Lekin ek baat wazeh hai, yeh incident Tejas ki global image, export prospects aur India ke defense modernization plans par gehra asar daal sakta hai.
