C-130J, AN-32, Mi-17 helicopters of IAF and ALH helicopters of the Indian Army were launched immediately to locate the missing aircraft. Indian Navy P-8i aircraft joined the search operations on 04 Jun 19.
Earlier in the day, the IAF had confirmed that there were no survivors from the AN-32 aircraft and informed the families of the deceased personnel.
The wreckage of the Antonov AN-32 aircraft was spotted on Tuesday -- eight days after the crash -- 16 km north of Lipo, North East of Tato in Arunachal Pradesh.
The IAF aircraft went missing on June 3 with 13 officers on board after taking off from Assam’s Jorhat airbase for Menchuka Advance Landing Ground in Arunachal Pradesh.

Just because there appears to be no Pakistan angle to the mishap, is the incident being written off as just another hazard of military aviation: particularly when flying over difficult terrain?
