This is an incident from 2024 involving an Indian MiG-29. The video below proves it.
Don’t fall for fake news.
During a routine night training mission in Barmer sector, an IAF MiG-29 encountered a critical technical snag, forcing the pilot to eject. The pilot is safe and no loss of life or property was reported. A Court of Inquiry has been ordered: IAF

@myogiadityanath These people are attacking our civilians in J&K and why are we acting so good and attacking only terrorist camps.
Are the lives of us Indians so cheap that anyone can come and attack us and take our lives and our government not taking action?
We should do something big.
