Missing Sukhoi wreckage found near forest close to China border

New Delhi, May 26 : The wreckage of an Indian Air Force Sukhoi SU-30 jet, which had gone missing on Tuesday, was found on Friday near a forest close to the China border.
“Wreckage found. Close to the last known position of aircraft. As of now weather is bad and the place has dense foliage. Further update follows,” said the IAF in an official statement.
Two pilots were onboard the aircraft and their location is yet to be ascertained. However, it is being presumed that they did not survive the crash. The jet lost contact on May 23rd following which massive search operations were launched to track the jet. However, bad weather did serve as an impediment in the rescue mission.Four ground teams of IAF personnel, nine of the Indian Army and two of state administration, were deployed on different axis to scour the area.
