HAWK 200 FIGHTER JET CRASH DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE: DEFENSE MINISTRY
Jakarta,Indonesia : A Defense Ministry spokesman said it was engine failure that caused an Indonesian fighter jet to crash in Kampar district, Riau, on Tuesday morning.
“Temporary assumption is engine failure as he [the pilot] reported there was a malfunction and asked permission to eject,” Hartind Asrin said on Tuesday, as quoted by Antara news agency. He added that the Air Force would investigate further to confirm the preliminary finding.
A British-made Hawk 200 fighter jet crashed into a residential area of Kampar district at about 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday. The pilot managed to eject moments before it went down.
