The long-standing mystery surrounding the disappearance of an IAF An-32 transport aircraft in 2016 may finally have been solved. An autonomous utility vehicle (AUV) developed by the National Institute of Ocean Technology discovered debris from a crashed aircraft 310km off the Chennai coast. Photographs from the probe confirmed it to be the missing An-32 aircraft. The plane, which was carrying 29 personnel, including eight civilians, went missing over the Bay of Bengal during an operational mission.
