@Oscar @Cobra Arbok Thanks for such thoughts & enlightening. I joined this forum only for better thoughts & knowledge but got disappointed in very first day after looking the comments. This is what is PDF for.Not to spit fantasies.Having seen the affects of political interference and corruption this side, it’s easy to recognize it.
Hence while folks on this side are focused on celebrating “pilot incompetence” and other oddball theories - I saw the events as the result of political miscalculation and making the IAF fight with one arm tied behind its back.
While Indian members were celebrating the MMRCA process as being thorough, I was dismissed when I pointed out the real risk to pilot lives by dragging on airframes by such protracted procurement process. Having 40 year old airframes and expecting them to not have metal fatigue or even have higher susceptibility to failure and pilot error is a mistake. Neither the Mig-21 nor 27 are easy airframes or forgiving.
