New Delhi: The Indian Air Force is mourning the loss of five of its personnel who were killed when an AN-32 transport aircraft crashed while landing at the Jorhat Air Force Station in Assam on June 13 during a routine training sortie.

The deceased were identified as Squadron Leader Prashant Singh, Flight Lieutenant Shubham Kumar, Sergeant Jitendra Sharma, Agniveervayu Khemaram Kumawat, and Agniveervayu Danish Alam.副驾驶在事故中幸存下来,正在接受治疗。国际田联向遇难者家属表示深切哀悼,并已成立调查法庭调查这起事故。

中队长、飞机指挥官 Prashant Singh 来自北阿坎德邦。得知他去世的消息后,同事、朋友和家人纷纷表示哀悼。报道援引其家人的话说,他是一位尽职尽责的军官,直到最后一刻都致力于履行自己的职责。

Flight Lieutenant Shubham Kumar was among the younger officers of the force, while Sergeant Jitendra Sharma represented the experienced technical cadre that forms the backbone of military aviation operations. The two Agniveervayu personnel on board, Khemaram Kumawat and Danish Alam, belonged to the IAF's recently introduced Agnipath recruitment scheme, highlighting the diversity of experience levels among those serving in the armed forces.

The aircraft involved in the crash was an Antonov AN-32, a twin-engine military transport aircraft designed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the former Soviet Union. The aircraft entered service with the Indian Air Force in the mid-1980s and has since become one of its most extensively used transport platforms.

Designed specifically for operations in hot-and-high environments, the AN-32 features more powerful engines mounted above the wings, enabling it to operate effectively from short and unprepared runways in mountainous regions.这种能力使其在支持喜马拉雅山和东北部的军事部署方面特别有价值。
