Indian Navy's Sea Harrier fighter aircraft crashed while landing at the
Dabolim Naval Air Station in Goa early on Monday.
The pilot of the jet was able to eject safely.
Dabolim airport runway is closed till afternoon.
The Sea Harrier is the Navy's frontline fighter aircraft deployed onboard the
aircraft carrier, the INS Viraat.
The Harrier, which has one of the highest crash rates among military aircraft
flown in India, is considered a tricky aircraft to operate but remains the only
carrier borne fighter jet that the Indian Navy operates.
The Indian Navy has only a handful of Sea Harriers in service and the loss of
even a single jet is considered a big loss since obtaining replacements are no
longer possible since the Sea Harrier is no longer operated by any other Navy.
