Seven aircraft of the Indian Air Force have crashed in the last two years, the government said in Rajya Sabha on Monday.
Minister of State for Defence Ajay Bhatt said this while replying to a question in the House.
“A total of seven aircraft of the Air Force have crashed in the last two years, including the Mirage 2000 which crashed recently in Madhya Pradesh,” he said.
The minister said every aircraft accident in the IAF is investigated by a Court of Inquiry (CoI) to ascertain the cause of the accident.
“The recommendations of the completed Court of Inquiry are implemented. Only after completion of the Court of Inquiry, the quantum of loss is finalised,” he said.
