In a gesture of empathy and respect, Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif offered heartfelt condolences to the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the bereaved family of the pilot who tragically perished in a crash at the Dubai Air Show.

The unfortunate incident involved a Tejas fighter jet from the Indian Air Force, which met a fiery end, resulting in the death of its sole pilot, Wing Commander Namansh Syal. The crash occurred during an aerial display last Friday.

Asif used social media to emphasize that while the two countries may have their differences, these rivalries are limited to competitive skies. The Pakistan Strategic Forum also shared in this gesture of condolence, highlighting the universal brotherhood in the aerospace community.
