Russian fighter jet crash following a sudden turn on takeoff.

A recent Video clip depicts what appears to be a Russian fighter plane falling right away after making a sudden manoeuvre while taking off.

The video was shared online on Monday by pro-Ukraine accounts and is rumoured to have been shot in the seized Crimea. Government accounts in Ukraine have since reposted it, including the ministry of defence on Tuesday.

The majority of Russian jets are either shot down or crashed because of a technical or pilot issue. “Sunday morning in Crimea. Another Su-25 is down. Incompetence at all levels. Weapons in Russian hands are the risk, first and foremost, to themselves,” Defence of Ukraine tweets in addition to the video.

When Ratan Tata was denied entry to the airfield at the Aero India show, he waited

During our visit to Aero India 2019, we had the unexpected opportunity to see Ratan Tata at the event, which was a thrilling moment for us. However, there was a surprising hiccup when the security staff didn’t allow him to enter due to a lack of a security pass.

Despite this, he remained calm and patiently waited for about 20 minutes until a member of the Tata team brought him the required pass, after which he calmly proceeded inside. It was a humbling sight, showcasing his composed demeanor even in such situations.

Ratan Tata ji is not only a renowned industrialist but also a trained pilot, holding a pilot’s license. In 2007, he became the first Indian civilian to fly the F-16 Falcon during the Aero India show in Bangalore—a proud moment for the nation.

His passion for aviation extended beyond flying, as he played a key role in shaping India’s aerospace industry. Under his leadership, Tata ventured into manufacturing and maintaining aerospace components while upholding its legacy of quality. Notably, Tata’s collaboration with Airbus to develop and manufacture the C295 aircraft is a testament to its growing influence in the sector.
