“The video shows the moment the IAF Tejas jet crashed during the Dubai Airshow on 21 November 2025.”
What FACTLY found
The video is a compilation of two different clips and does not show the Tejas crash at the Dubai Airshow on 21 November 2025. The first clip, showing an aircraft performing manoeuvres, predates the crash and has been online since at least 18 November 2025. The second clip, which shows an aircraft crashing, is from a Polish Air Force F-16 accident during an airshow rehearsal in Poland in August 2025, in which the pilot died.
