Who investigates military plane crashes?

Military aircraft crashes are investigated by specialised accident investigation branches within the armed forces, often independently from the operational chain of command. Their role is to determine the cause, prevent future incidents, and improve safety protocols. Findings are typically made public, ensuring transparency and accountability.
