A disturbing video has surfaced on social media, showing the moment a Tejas fighter jet crashed at the Dubai Airshow on November 21, resulting in the tragic death of its pilot, Wing Commander Namansh Syal. The 2-minute and 3-second footage captures the pilot's final moments as he performed a low-level aerobatic manoeuvre before the aircraft plummeted to the ground and burst into flames. The incident occurred on the last day of the event, leaving behind a trail of shock and grief. According to officials, Wing Commander Namansh Syal, an Indian Air Force pilot, was operating the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA Mk-1) when the accident occurred. Syal, a dedicated fighter pilot and a devoted public servant, is survived by his wife, a fellow IAF officer, their six-year-old daughter, and his parents. His last rites were performed on Sunday at his native village in Himachal Pradesh. The Indian Air Force has expressed its deepest regret over the loss of life and stands in solidarity with the bereaved family during this difficult time. A court of inquiry has been established to investigate the cause of the accident. The IAF remembered Namansh Syal as a true patriot and a skilled aviator who served the nation with unwavering dedication and exceptional skill. This tragic incident marks the second accident involving the indigenous multi-role LCA in less than two years, casting a shadow over the Tejas program. The incident serves as a poignant reminder of the risks and sacrifices made by brave men and women in uniform who serve our nation with distinction.
