A soldier located on the ground was also killed, and another injured.

Randjelovic was conducting a training flight at the time of the accident and was preparing for the Belgrade aircraft acrobatics show.

The Serbian Air Force has five MiG-29s which were repaired between 2007 and 2008 at a cost of €15m (£13 m).

The cause of the crash is still unknown, pending an official investigation.
