An Iranian military jet crashed in the central Isfahan province on Saturday, the semi-official Fars news agency reported. Its two pilots, however, managed to eject before it came down in a desert area. "The fighter ran into technical problems after departing the Shahid Babaei Air Base in Isfahan on a training flight and crashed mid-day near Hasanabad village," the air force said in a statement published on Fars. Emergency teams arrived at the crash site, Fars said, and the pilot and co-pilot of the F-7 jet were taken to a hospital.
