Terrible news. RIP.
Any pilot death os a tragedy, but feels avoidable if the pilot had ejected and his ejection seat let him down.
Does the Martin Baker ejection seats have a problem with low alt ejections? This is the second MB seat fatality in a few weeks after a red arrows pilot was killed after his seat ejected him while on the ground and failed to open.

Analyse shows the plane had not much horizontal or vertical speed. Big part of the body is not crushed but burned. Even the nose cone is still one piece and pretty much attached. The plane is lying upside down. This tells me that something killed the engine (technical/bird). The pilot tried to stay as long as possible inside to avoid danger to others. He came upside down and ejected late. Canopy was exploded, seat ejected but it had no time to recover from downwards speed or gain enough speed to get upside up again, hence close to the plane and not as it should work.
I do not call myself an expert. I just try to understand what I see and predict as good as I can.

guys their is various reports
typical pakistani media, it is now reported that it wasnt a JF17 and it was a trainee pilot, a FT-7 dual seat vesion of F7 crashed NOT JF17 , the trainee suvived and the instructor has died
we will have to wait until more reports come in
but the crash site looks like JF17
