A jet plane crashed into a college in bangladesh yesterday. Meanwhile, it has now been revealed that the one involved in the accident was made in China. Although china has provided its fighter jets and weapons to the world, there are many shortcomings in them. Accidents from time to time are becoming a recurring story. A plane belonging to the bangladesh Army crashed into a college campus there yesterday. 27 people died in the accident. Also, about 200 people were injured. The accident that happened yesterday is considered the worst accident in the history of Bangladesh. Meanwhile, some additional information has been released regarding this accident. Made in china, that is, the jet that crashed in bangladesh is a Chinese-made F-7 PGI aircraft. The accident took place at 1:06 pm local time yesterday. The plane crashed minutes after taking off for training.
It crashed into a college called Milestone in the Uttara area of the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka. It was during classes at the college that this Chinese jet crashed. The exact cause of the accident is not clear. Military officials and rescue workers are investigating the cause of the accident. However, eyewitnesses said that a terrible noise was heard from the premises when the jet crashed. Let's take a closer look at this Chinese plane. One of the oldest planes of the old model bangladesh air Force is this F-7 BGI plane. It is an improved variant of the Chinese Chengdu F-7. It is based on the Soviet-era MiG-21. That is, china developed the Chengdu F-7 for its country based on the Soviet MiG-21 jet. Its international export version is the F-7 BGI. This is the one who has now been involved in the accident. The Chengdu J-7 fighter jet was manufactured in china from 1965 to 2013. Although production has ceased, it is still used as an interceptor aircraft by many air forces. It is also an important aircraft in the Chinese military. Compared to other countries in the world, this aircraft may seem outdated.
 
However, the Chengdu J-7 fighter jet is still the main jet in the bangladesh air Force. Due to its low cost and reliability, the Chengdu F-7 jet is used by bangladesh for pilot training and light combat operations. The last batch of these aircraft was delivered to bangladesh by china in 2013. After that, its production was stopped. This is not the first time that the Chengdu J-7 aircraft has been involved in an accident. Similarly, the Chengdu J-7 aircraft has been involved in several accidents in various air forces in the past. The accidents have been caused by mechanical failures, technical defects, and pilot errors. Recently, a Chengdu J-7 fighter aircraft belonging to the Myanmar air Force crashed in Bale Township in the Shafaing region on june 10. It is said that the aircraft may have crashed due to a technical failure. Before that, in early 2022, a J-7 aircraft crashed into a residential building in Xiangyang, a central city in China's Hubei province.
