The twin engine, single-seater aircraft developed a “technical snag” due to which it crashed, he told PTI.
The aircraft had flown from the INS Hansa base at Vasco in South Goa.
This is the second mishap of MiG-29K aircraft in Goa in the last three months. On 16 November last year, a MiG-29K trainer aircraft crashed outside Verna village in the district of South Goa. Both the pilots had then ejected safely.
