How are military crashes investigated?

When a military aircraft crashes, a thorough investigation is launched by the armed forces themselves. This involves experts examining the wreckage, flight recorders, and maintenance records to determine the cause. The aim is to prevent future incidents and improve safety protocols for military aviation.
