The M-346 aircraft crashed while the pilot was attempting risky maneuvers ahead of a demonstration in which he was about to participate. The moment of the crash is recorded in several videos that saw the light of day through social networks. The M-346 suddenly loses altitude and crashes into the ground, causing a powerful explosion.
According to the Air Force, the pilot was very experienced and had more than 2,000 flight hours, half of which were in this type of aircraft.
An investigation has been ordered to determine the cause of the crash, and until it is complete, the M-346s will remain grounded, according to the Air Force statement.
