 Incidents of Misidentification and Shootdowns

  • 1983: Korean Airlines flight 007 shot down by Russia due to navigational error, killing all 269 onboard.

  • 1988: Iran Air flight 655 shot down by U.S. Navy, misidentified as a fighter jet, killing 290.

  • 2003: DHL Cargo plane hit by missile in Baghdad, crew managed a safe landing despite damage.

  • 2019: India’s Mi-17 helicopter mistakenly shot down by IAF during a dogfight, killing six.

  • 2014: MH17 shot down by Russian-backed forces over Ukraine, killing 298.

  • All cases highlight risks of misidentification in conflict zones.

Flight Safety and Procedures

  • Post-9/11, specific procedures are in place for deviation from flight paths, including radio communication to prevent interception.

  • 2017: Jet Airways flight 9W 118 almost shot down by German Air Force for failing to maintain communication; miscommunication deemed a "malfunction."

9/11 refers to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. The attacks were carried out by al-Qaeda, an Islamic extremist group

  • Civilian aircraft could be targeted if their flight path appears suspicious or if they don't follow radio procedures.

Dangers in Conflict Zones

  • Conflicts in regions like Ukraine, the Middle East, and South Asia increase risks for civilian aircraft, especially with military forces misidentifying planes.

  • 2024: Azerbaijani airliner shot down by Russian anti-aircraft defense after veering off course in fog.

  • GPS spoofing and loss of navigation signals also pose serious risks to aircraft safety in these zones.

  • Over 500 people have died in such incidents due to misidentification or hostile actions.

Indian Aviation Safety Concerns

  • India faces challenges with GPS errors, especially over Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Myanmar.

  • DGCA has been criticized for not addressing the lack of pilot proficiency and inadequate training for dealing with navigation issues or emergency situations.

  • India’s rapid airline expansion may outpace safety measures, with reports of Indian flights using routes avoided by other countries (e.g., Air India flights to the U.S. west coast).

  • There is little transparency or action from DGCA on these issues, putting India’s aviation safety at risk in conflict-prone regions.
