The Indian Air Force has paid tribute to Wing Commander Namansh Syal, a dedicated fighter pilot who lost his life in a tragic accident at the Dubai Air Show on Friday. The Tejas aircraft, an indigenous multi-role Light Combat Aircraft, crashed in a ball of fire during an aerial display. Syal, a Himachal Pradesh native, was a thorough professional who served the nation with unwavering commitment, exceptional skill, and an unyielding sense of duty. His dedication to service earned him immense respect, and his colleagues, friends, and UAE officials paid tribute to him in a dignified send-off. The crash occurred around 2:10 pm local time, just minutes into the demonstration flight. The IAF has stood in solidarity with Syal's family, including his wife who also serves in the Air Force, and their six-year-old daughter. The Air Force honours his legacy of courage, devotion, and honour, and his service will be remembered with gratitude. This tragic incident marks the second accident involving the Tejas aircraft in less than two years, following a crash in Jaisalmer in March 2024. The IAF has expressed its deepest condolences to Syal's family and friends, and the nation mourns the loss of a brave air warrior.
