aircraft crash In a recent wave of propaganda, pro-Pakistani social media accounts falsely claimed that three Indian Air Force aircraft went down within a two-hour window, attributing the incident to unknown electronic interference.
Here’s the truth, according to PIB Fact Check:
- Only one IAF trainer aircraft, the PC-7 Mk II, was involved in a crash.
- The crash occurred during a routine training mission, not in a combat or hostile scenario.
- The pilot ejected safely, and no damage was reported to nearby civilian areas.
- The claim about “three aircraft” is fabricated, and there’s no evidence of any electronic interference causing a multi-aircraft crash.
Authorities warn the public to avoid spreading unverified content, especially when it comes to national security-related news.
