Recently, two days ago in Dubai on 21 November, 2025, a Tejas Fighter jet crashed midshow while performing complex Manuevers close to the ground.

First of all we need to know that these complex manuevers include making sharp turns and even a single fault can be fatal. This is not the first time that a plane has crashed during airshow. A Pakistani F-16 Pilot named Nouman Akaram died in a similar way during rehersals. A Polish F-16 too crashed during the rehersals, killing the pilot with it aswell. So, this is not uncommon.

All India mourns this crash, but I have noticed that some people are mourning the wrong thing actually. People are mourning for the Tejas Crashed but some forget about the Pilot who lost his life. In the vdeo we can see that the pilot who’s name is Wing Commander Namansh Sayal until the very last moment tried his best to recover the plane from cashing, his first priority was honour of his nation and he died trying to protect it.

What I am saying is that the Air Frame needs not to be mourned, it can be made again, what we should really mourn about is the Pilot lost. With the pilot we did not lose just a precious son of Bharat Mata but also the skill and Experience of a seasoned pilot, and that is never coming back.

To all the Family Members of Wing Commander Namansh Sayal, they have our deepest Condolensces and the whole nation prays for Namansh Sayal’s Soul, he lived by the moto “Service before Self”.

For his soul “Om Shanti”

Now about the other part. I anticipate that now many sources will claim that recently there was rumour that Tejas was leaking and now this happened, what I anticipate is that some people will try to justify this claim, but to all my viewers I would like to tell that these are all vague claims and let me prove how.

The IAF had actually sent two Tejas to Dubai Airshow with the serial numbers ‘LA 5025’ and LA 5026’ Respectively.

The LA 5025 is only for ground display and this is the Tejas that was rumoured to be leaking but it was only condensed water, the one that crashed was LA 5026.

We all must appeal to the goverenment and IAF to investigate the cause of this crash sternously, was it really Pilot’s fault, which is a possibility, but if it was the machine’s fault, it needs to be fixed as quickly as possible to ensure that we don’t lose any more of our skilled pilots ever again.
