Everything is not going well for the Pakistani Air Force (PAF) these days. Due to technical flaws and poor maintenance, Pakistan Air Force has suffered another huge blow. In a very shocking and scary accident, an Air Force fighter plane crashed and fell in the middle of a busy road shortly after take off. As soon as the plane fell, it turned into a ball of fire, causing panic in the surrounding residential areas and pedestrians walking on the road. The most worrying thing is that this is the fifth plane crash in the Pakistani Air Force fleet within just a month, which has surprised defense experts.
Pile of debris on the road and suspense over the condition of the pilots This horrific accident occurred when the aircraft was on its routine training flight. According to eyewitnesses, a plume of smoke started coming out of the jet plane in the sky itself and within no time it went out of control and fell on the main road. It was fortunate that no big vehicle hit the plane when it fell on the road, otherwise the number of casualties could have been much higher. Immediately after the accident, the rescue team of the local administration and the army took charge and the entire area was cordoned off. However, no clear official statement has yet come out regarding whether the pilots on board the plane ejected safely or were seriously injured.
Big questions raised on the reliability of Chinese and old fighter planes The crash of five aircraft in just thirty days is being considered a big black month in the history of Pakistani Air Force. Discussion has intensified in defense circles whether the Chinese-origin aircraft (such as JF-17) or the outdated Mirage and F-7 fighter planes included in Pakistan’s fleet have suffered any major technical fault. Pakistan, which is going through a period of poverty, has a huge shortage of budget for modern maintenance and purchasing spare parts of its military aircraft. Experts believe that the budget crisis and compromise on quality is the result of jets falling from the sky one after the other.
Safety audit ordered, but will this series of accidents stop? After these continuous incidents, an emergency meeting has been called at the Pakistani Air Force Headquarters and orders have been given for a safety audit of the entire fleet. From social media to the Parliament of the country, sharp questions are being asked on the poor condition of the Air Force. The public is scared that if these military planes keep falling in residential areas or on the roads, then the lives of civilians will always be in danger. Now it has to be seen whether after this fifth crash the Pakistani Air Force grounds its flights for some time or will it continue such risky missions.
