Fighter Jet of Bangladesh Air Force Jet Crash in Capital
Hello, welcome to warfare news. Now today you will see that international media, Indian media, everywhere this news is being covered that a fighter jet of Bangladesh Air Force Jet Crash in a school in the capital of their own country.
India Faced a Different Type of Crash Recently
See, in India also you must know that a few weeks ago a crash happened in Gujarat. But that was a different type of crash. It was a civilian aircraft. It was a free accident.
Strange Circumstances of the Crash
But I would say that this incident has happened, nobody is able to understand it because the fighter jet was flying properly in the sky. It had taken off properly and then suddenly when it crashed, you must have seen that when a crash happens, the pilot tries to crash in a place where there is an empty, deserted area, an open area, but to crash directly in a school, that too in the capital of your country, in this manner, this is quite incredible, by going directly into the building you will see that the aircraft has fallen and this is the condition of the aircraft, the engine etc. has all been destroyed, you must have understood from needless to that, it seems to be Chinese technology.
Chinese-Made Fighter Jet Involved
Of course, this was a Chinese made fighter jet of Bangladesh Air Force and since its crash, at least for the time being the news is coming that 19 people have been confirmed dead. Unfortunately, it has to be said that the number of injured is being told to be around 100. So unfortunately, it seems that the death toll will increase to a great extent…
Why Did the Crash Happen in the Capital?
…and if you are wondering here which aircraft was that which crashes directly on a school in this manner, that too in the capital. Look in the capital, I have to say here that usually in the capital of countries, the safety protocols are more. Air defense systems are also there. There are a lot of majors. So in the middle of all this, the crash of an F7 fighter jet in this manner is quite weird.
A Training Jet Crash Raises More Questions
And the strange thing is also that this was a training jet. This accident is so strange, so weird. The whole of Bangladesh has decided to observe a day of mourning. There will be a one-day state morning. The flag of Bangladesh will be lowered. The whole country will mourn here because I cannot remember the last time in the history of Bangladesh when such an accident happened.
Why Didn’t the Pilot Eject?
And if you have a question here that many times these fighter jets have an ejection seat in which when the pilot sees that I have no control in my hands, then I should eject. So was the pilot able to eject here? The answer to this is no, the name of the pilot here was Toh Ur Islam. He was a lieutenant in the Air Force. He too could not eject from his seat and died due to his injury. When this plane crashed and the visuals that came out were horrifying.
Humanity Before Nationality
Gaurav as an Indian, see, Bangladesh, India and countries are different but in the end we are all human beings. No matter what the Bangladesh social media said about Indians when the crash happened in India, I don’t think I have lost my humanity. I genuinely felt bad and a question also came to my mind: why is this old fighter jet still flying in Bangladesh?
J7 Aircraft: The Outdated Chinese Fighter
If I talk about the fighter jet that crashed here, it is a Chinese made aircraft and if you read about it, then its actual name was given in China around 19670 and that was J7. The actual name of this aircraft is J7. The Chengdu company made it. Its export variant was sold to Pakistan. Yes, they have sold it to Pakistan as well. I think Pakistan has also crashed many J7s. I remember many instances there as well and they sold it to Bangladesh as well and its export variant was named F7 from J7.
Bangladesh Still Uses the Risky F7 as Trainer
And China, by the way, has made this. The use of aircraft was stopped for a long time. But you can say that due to budget constraints, even today Bangladesh is using this aircraft as a training aircraft for their pilots, which in itself is a very risky decision because the chances of crashing of your trainee pilots are always high.
Past Crashes of the Chinese F7 in 2025
And if you look at this year itself, this Chinese F7 aircraft has crashed three times. All three times, many people have lost their lives. On February 6, 2025, J7 trainer or F7 J7, whatever you want to call it, crashed in Zimbabwe and many people lost their lives.
Mystery Surrounds Myanmar F7 Crash
Then on June 10, the Myanmar Air Force was flying an F7 aircraft. Now look at this, what has happened here in Myanmar is a mystery in itself because as you all know, there is a civil war going on in Myanmar. Many groups have stood up against the army of their country. They are doing guerilla warfare. So the Myanmar Air Force was flying an F7 fighter jet. Suddenly the news comes that one of their Air Force’s fighter jets has crashed. Did it crash or did the people below shoot it down? It is not clear. But eventually it was found out that the fighter jet which people were saying was the JF17 Thunder crashed in Myanmar was actually an F7. It was a Chinese made fighter jet. But it was not a JF7 Thunder. And it is also being said that 4 to 6 civilians died due to its crash.
July 21 Tragedy in Bangladesh Capital
And now the most recent case is that on July 21, a Bangladesh Air Force Jet Crash in a school in their capital. Make it. Whatever list you see of the crashes of this aircraft, it crashed anywhere in the capital of your country, that too where children are studying. You will not find such an example. This is truly something unique.
Bangladesh Air Force’s Aggressive Modernization
And we Indians, if we look at the Bangladesh Air Force, you will also note one change that Bangladesh has started the upgradation process of its Air Force after a long time. And it is not that they want to upgrade their Air Force with a defensive posture. If you look at the overall road map of Bangladesh regarding their Air Force, it is clearly visible that they are preparing for a conflict.
Bangladesh Buying 16 Chinese J10C Jets
For example, today Bangladesh is negotiating with China to get 16 J10 C fighter jets and attack helicopters. Usually Bangladesh is so aggressively procuring Chinese made fighter jets in such a large quantity. Now again, if I talk about the Bangladesh Air Force, it is a large quantity because they do not need it. They do not face any military threat from India. Yes, they are planning something on their own in the long term. That is a different thing altogether.
Internal Instability Yet Defense Spending Rises
But suddenly purchasing Chinese J10C fighter jets at a time when their exports are collapsing. The economy is not able to function properly. Unemployment is rising in the country. Suddenly they are purchasing fighter jets on a large scale.
Anti-India Rhetoric and Strategic Suspicion
And at the same time, you will see that their military leaders have given anti-India statements many times. They have said about the Siliguri corridor that when will they go to it. With China. This increases the suspension to a great extent.
India Must Monitor Bangladesh’s Military Intent
I think at the same time, look at this incident, it is very sad, shocking. But at the same time, the way Bangladesh is now training its pilots at double the rate. They have plans to acquire fighter jets. India will have to closely monitor what Bangladesh is actually planning. Because ever since Mohammad Yunus has come to Bangladesh, Bangladesh has had an anti-India stance.
Water Disputes May Escalate Tensions
And the way India is reviewing its old treaties related to water. For example, the Ganga Treaty is about to end. It will complete 30 years in 2026. It was signed in 1996. Under this, how will the water of the Ganga river be distributed? This was decided between Bangladesh and India. India will review it. Definitely, Bangladesh will get less water this time. Most likely, this is what usually happens in reviews.
Closing Note: Updates Will Follow
So, because of this, there is a possibility that Bangladesh may gradually become more hostile against India. So, in the coming times, any important development related to the Bangladesh Air Force will come to the fore. I will keep on making updated content for all of you.
