In February this year, an Indian Navy MiG aircraft crashed while conducting a routine sortie in Goa. The MiG-29K aircraft was conducting a routine training sortie off the coast of Goa when it crashed at around 10.30 am.
The pilot of the aircraft ejected safely and was rescued.
The twin-engine, single-seater aircraft developed a "technical snag" due to which it crashed. The aircraft had flown from the INS Hansa base at Vasco in South Goa.
