An Army aircraft reportedly crashed in Bhanuda village of Ratangarh, located in Rajasthan’s Churu district. Following the initial reports of the crash, panic spread through the local police department.
The SEPECAT Jaguar is a ground-attack aircraft developed jointly by Britain and France in the 1960s. India inducted the aircraft into the Indian Air Force (IAF) in 1979, and since then, it has played a crucial role in India’s deep strike and tactical bombing capabilities.
According to preliminary information, the crashed aircraft belonged to the Indian Army. Authorities recovered the body of a pilot near the debris, found in a completely charred and damaged state. Identification of the deceased pilot is currently underway by Army personnel and local officials.
The incident sent shockwaves across the region. Churu District Collector Abhishek Surana and senior police officers immediately left for the crash site. An Army rescue team is also en route to secure the area and initiate a detailed investigation. Officials are expected to cordon off the location and begin technical assessment of the wreckage.
