An Indian Air Force (IAF) MiG-27 'Flogger' combat aircraft crashed during a routine training sortie on 27 January, local media reported.
The single-seat aircraft came down close to Barmer city, in the northern province of Rajasthan. The pilot ejected, though there were reports of minor injuries sustained by members of the public on the ground.
The cause of the crash is not yet known and the IAF has launched an investigation.
The air force currently operates about 90 MiG-27M aircraft, which have been in service since 1985. Three squadrons of the type operate at Kalaikunda, Uttarlai, and Halwara air bases.
