It was too low. Similar to the Polish F-16 there was no way for the pilot surviving barring some miracle.Could a safe ejection even be possible with the way it crashed? The plane was almost doing a dive. I feel like even if the ejection seat engaged the pilot would've still impacted the ground. RIP to the pilot.
I'd note that tejas have zero zero ejection seats, if it wasn't in a dive it would be survivable.It was too low. Similar to the Polish F-16 there was no way for the pilot surviving barring some miracle.

So what about Atmanirbhar Bharat?
it looked like something straight out of war thunderLooks like pilot error to me. Way too common in airshow unfortunately.
Indian media has been denying the "leak" tho...I though they have nearly 80 of these things in service, how can there still be crashes, is this the Tejas that was leaking? If so then that has to have something to do with it.

Looking back at videos, he rolled the opposite way to usual. On Mon/Tues he rolled over the top to exit the turn (with some crazy rudder inputs that looked uncomfortable). Today, a dramatic roll under, and then a lot of sink.
