Guwahati, May 28 (IBNS): The search and rescue team of Indian army and Indian Air Force (IAF) on Sunday had recovered the black box of the crashed IAF’s Sukhoi-30 MKI aircraft from the jungle area in Arunachal Pradesh, officials said.

 But, there is no information of the two pilots of the aircraft, which went missing on May 23 after it had taken off from Assam’s Tezpur Salnibari Air Force station.

A defence official based in Tezpur said rescue team had managed to locate the area, where the aircraft crashed and reached the remote dense forest area along the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border.

“The team had found the black box of the crashed aircraft at the Khalong hills area. But yet to trace the missing pilots,” the defence official said.

The defence official said that, the search operation is going on to trace the missing pilots.

The Russia made fighter jet had lost radio and radar contact after takeoff around 60 kms from Tezpur.
