India First With Gaurav Sawant: Fatal Tejas Crash At Dubai Airshow Sparks Debate

A special report details the fatal crash of an Indian Air Force (IAF) Tejas light combat aircraft during an aerial display at the Dubai Airshow 2025, which killed Wing Commander Naman Sayal. The incident occurred as the aircraft attempted a low-level manoeuvre. This marks the second crash involving the indigenous fighter jet, following a non-fatal incident in Jaisalmer in March 2024 where the pilot ejected safely. In response, the IAF has ordered a court of inquiry to determine the cause of the accident. The program includes analysis from former IAF pilots and flight safety experts on the crash and the Tejas's strong overall safety record. The event is also examined within the larger context of India's indigenous defence production, the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' (self-reliant India) policy, and the future of domestic fighter programs like the Tejas and the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA).
