The body of the missing MiG-29 pilot Commander Nishant Singh was found on Monday, Indian Navy officials said.
Commander Singh had gone missing on November 26 after his MiG-29K trainer aircraft crashed into the Arabian Sea. Rescue teams were able to rescue the other pilot on board. The Russian-origin twin-seat trainer jet went down off India’s west coast after taking off from the deck of the country’s only aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya.
The November 26 crash was the fourth accident involving the MiG-29K maritime fighter fleet.
