Dhaka Fighter Jet Crash: Did Chinese Technology, Poor Planning and Encroachment Led To Accident?

Tragedy strikes Dhaka as a Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) Chinese-made F-7 BGI fighter jet crashes into Milestone School, killing 27 and injuring over 170, mostly civilians. The pilot tried to avoid dense areas but failed. The Air Force blames a technical malfunction. This isn’t a one-off. Since 1992, BAF has recorded 27 crashes and 7 out of the 11 recent ones involved Chinese aircraft. Experts now question why Dhaka continues to fly these jets, pointing at aging fleets, poor procurement oversight, and strategic dependence on China. Urban encroachment near military bases is another major concern. The school sits in what was once an empty canal zone near the Air Force Base AK Khandaker, now overrun by real estate.#dhakacrash #bangladeshairforce #f7bgi #chinesejets #aviationdisaster #milestoneschool #fighterjetcrash #urbanencroachment #chinaaircraft #southasiadefence #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews
