COLOMBEY-LES-BELLES, France: Two French Rafale jets collided in midair on Wednesday in a rare accident involving the cutting-edge military aircraft and authorities launched a desperate search for two crew.
One pilot ejected following the crash over northeastern France, but an instructor and a student pilot on the second jet were missing.
The two supersonic jets were from the Saint-Dizier air base, an air force spokesman in Paris told AFP.
“One of the pilots was found safe and sound,” Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on the X social media platform.
“The search is still underway” after the crash, he added, thanking armed forces and police involved in the operation.
