A twin-seater Mirage 2000 fighter aircraft of the Indian Air Force (IAF) crashed today near Shivpuri in Madhya Pradesh while it was on a routine training sortie.<\/p>\n

Both pilots are safe, officials said.<\/p>\n

A court of inquiry has been ordered to find out the cause of the crash.<\/p>\n

The multirole fighter jet Mirage 2000, built by France’s Dassault Aviation, flew for the first time in 1978.<\/p>\n

The French Air Force inducted it in 1984; 600 Mirage 2000 were produced, of which 50 per cent were exported to eight countries including India, Dassault says on its website.<\/p>\n

There is also a single-seater version of the Mirage 2000.<\/p>\n

In the IAF, the Mirage 2000 saw action in the Kargil war with a high success rate. It dropped laser-guided bombs on hilltops occupied by terrorists and Pakistani forces with great accuracy.<\/p>\n

The IAF also used the reliable jet to bomb a terrorist camp deep inside Pakistan’s Balakot in February 2019.<\/p>\n
