A Pakistan Air Force Mirage 5 ROSE III fighter jet crashed during a training flight in Sargodha, with the pilot ejecting safely. This incident highlights ongoing safety concerns surrounding the Mirage 5, a platform that has seen at least 15 crashes since 2012, raising questions about its reliability. Despite upgrades, the aircraft’s outdated design remains vulnerable to critical issues like stall-spin incidents. This situation underscores the necessity for India to continue modernizing its own air capabilities, ensuring that the Indian Air Force remains superior in technological advancements and operational readiness, especially in a region with such safety challenges among its adversaries.
