Both the pilots managed to eject safely.

The jet crashed during the routine sortie. The incident took place after hours after a Chetak helicopter of the Indian Air Force crash landed in Uttar Pradesh, moments after it took off from an airbase on the outskirts of Allahabad this morning. No casualties have been reported, defence officials said.

Last year, in September, a MiG-21 aircraft had crashed in the same area.

A Chetak helicopter of the Indian Air Force on Wednesday crash landed in the adjoining district of Kaushambi, minutes after it took off from an airbase on the outskirts of the city. 

 

Both the pilots are reported to be safe.

The chopper, which took off from Bamrauli air base, toppled when the pilots tried to crash-land after it developed a technical snag, news agency PTI quoted sources in IAF as saying.

According to Defence PRO Group Captain, BB Pande, the IAF Chetak helicopter took off from the Central Air Command headquarters at Bamrauli, 20 kms from here, on a routine sortie with two pilots on board.indian air force chopper

“Shortly after take-off, the helicopter developed a technical failure following which the pilots tried to land it in the fields. The land was uneven and the helicopter toppled while landing, though both pilots ejected safely,” he said in a statement.

A court of inquiry (COI) has been ordered by the IAF to ascertain the cause of the accident.

India's first women-only crew on board INSV Mhadei

Payal spent her childhood watching Indian Military Academy cadets. “None of my family were in the armed forces. But in Dehradun, every other person is in the army. I had an inclination towards the army right from my childhood,” she says.

“I had a dream of marching in the Republic Day Parade. After graduation, I kept applying for the army, but I was rejected by 5 Services Selection Boards. I did not lose hope. I came to Gurgaon and joined a multinational company. I worked for a-year-and-a-half there.”

“I kept trying for the SSB. I came to know about naval recruitment and applied in 2012. I was selected and my dream came true. I was part of the Republic Day Parade,” says Payal.

Lieutenant Payal Gupta

“But something was missing. I thought the navy would be adventurous. I was confined to desk work. I was doing the same thing I did while working for that firm. When the opportunity to be part of an all-women boat came up,” she remembers, “I jumped with joy.”

The audience gathered at the Pipping Lawn under the proudly fluttering “TRICOLOUR” placed on a 100 feet Mast listened spellbound as the Cadets took the oath in the name of Constitution of India. The Passing Out Cadets repeated the words “I will as in duty bound honestly and faithfully serve in the regular Army of the Union of India and go wherever ordered by Land, Sea or Air and that I will observe and obey all commands of President of the Union of India and the command of any officer set over me even to the peril of my life” after the Adjutant Lieutenant Colonel Arjun Sharma of the JAT Regiment.
