TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An investigation has been launched after an Indian MiG-29k fighter jet crashed near Goa, according to the Indian Navy.

The Indian Navy said in a statement that the MiG-29K suffered an engine fire during a training mission, after take-off from the INS HANSA naval air station at Dabolim.

The Indian Armed Forces currently use over 900 Russian military aircraft.
