Special Report On IAF Tejas Jet Crash During Dubai Airshow

This special report covers the crash of an Indian Air Force Tejas aircraft during a demonstration at the Dubai Airshow on November 21, 2025. The programme addresses the unknown condition of the pilot and the significance of the Tejas jet for the Indian Air Force's squadron strength. The report includes analysis from aviation experts, retired Air Marshal Sanjeev Kapoor and retired Air Marshal Anil Chopra, on the potential circumstances of the crash. Air Marshal Anil Chopra (Retd) states, 'a flying display pilot is made differently. He has a different level of psychological training that he goes through because he knows that he's not only flying at the edge of the envelope of the aircraft, but he's also flying very close to the ground and there are spectators down below whom he's trying to impress.'
