According to the unnamed IAF sources, this tragic incident occured soon after a ground controller reportedly joked with the pilots that the PAF planes were spotted in their vicinity, it's then that the two pilots panicked, and in their haste to exit the area, collided with each other.

Reportedly during their debriefing the two Pilot stated that they were not ready to be served the cups of fantastic tea.

(1) The deal of 24 second-hand Mirages would come into handy for the replacement of crashed Mirages.

(2) The aircraft would now be upgraded to the latest standards as part of the Mirage upgrade programme going on in the HAL

(3) Out of the 24 fighters being purchased, 13 are in complete condition with engine and airframe intact and eight of them are ready to fly after servicing
