KARACHI: A Pakistan Air Force (PAF) training aircraft, a Super Mushshak, made an emergency landing in a field near Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Wednesday.
Both pilots survived the crash and a board of inquiry will be established to investigate the incident.
The Super Mushshak is an advanced variant of the Mushshak used for training aspiring pilots. It has a service ceiling of 22,000 feet, a max speed of 268 kilometres per hour, and a range of 814 kilometres.
It was upgraded in 2017 for counter-insurgency operations and is in use by several countries including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iran, and South Africa.
Pakistan was set to export 40 Super Mushshaks to Turkey in a joint effort between PAF and the Turkish aeronautical complex.
