A tragedy with JF-17



 Pakistans JF 17 Thunder Crashes in Mansar, Attock



On 14th of November, the Pakistan Air Force was struck with a major blow after one of its leading fighter planes the JF-17 crashed near Attock. The plane was on a routine operational training mission when it took off but just after a few minutes it crashed. The pilot Squadron leader Muhammad Hussain was killed during the incident and reports say that the main reason for his death was failure of ejection when the lever on his seat was pulled. The reason for the jet to crash was that it encountered a technical fault in one of its engines which immediately caught fire and exploded. JF-17 is Pakistan`s premier fighter plane which was built in collaboration with Pakistan`s good friends China. This is a major setback for the Pakistan Air Force as the new breeding pilots have lost all sorts of faith in this fighter jet.

Just a day before the crash, JF-17 won all praise from several engineers during its display in the Dubai Air Show.

  2. what should i say, at one point you mention that it won several accolades and then you say pilots have lost the faith. it would have been much better if you would wrote something that had helped in raising the moral of the pilots then mere criticism on the technical side of the jet. after all its a machine and anything can go wrong to it.
