- The force is now looking into buying 25–26 foreign fighter planes to use from the aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, which was just put into service in Kochi by the Prime Minister.
Wednesday, a MiG 29K fighter plane crashed into the sea near the coast of Goa. From what we know, the MiG 29K fighter plane crashed while it was on a normal mission.
The plane had a technical problem as it was flying back to base.
The pilot of the plane got out of the plane safely and is in stable condition, according to the Indian Navy.
After the accident, there was a quick effort to find and save people.
In the meantime, a Board of Inquiry (BoI) has been asked to look into what happened.
The Indian Navy is the only one in the world that uses MiG-29K fighter planes. These planes were bought from Russia along with the ship Admiral Gorshkov, which India renamed INS Vikramaditya.
The MiG-29Ks have not had a very good safety record.
The force is now looking into buying 25–26 foreign fighter planes to use from the aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, which was just put into service in Kochi by the Prime Minister.
The MiG-29s are based at the INS Hansa naval base in Goa.
