IAF MiG-21 crashes in Jaisalmer

[vishwambhar]

Agreed, especially a machine that shot down the F16 without firing a single missile or a bullet. A first in history.

I never meant to say that.... F16 is totally in different league....

But for us migs are still important when our squadron numbers are falling down.... MIG 21 if accidents number is reduced is still a formidable interceptor.... Given the condition of our economy today it's obvious we won't be able to replace 120+ migs overnight..... That's why I said we can't afford single MIG 21 loss.....

we have two mig-21s in flying condition how much you will pay for them ?

Not interested even if you offer it for free..... Migs are already liability on us untill we are in position to induct new jets..... Whatever number of migs we have I'm of the view that we should not loose a single in crash.... Rest those 2 migs which you have please save it for yourself.... BURE WAQT ME KAAM AA JAYENGE....

MiG 21, first modification???? That's a significant museum prop lost.

Generally, they succeed in ejecting. This must then be some abrupt crash.

It's very possible to eject, and still die. Ejection can easily break the back of a physically unfit person.

The pilot was Wing Commander.

Yup, Wing Commander Harshit Sinha.

If we had that financial luxury but things are not that easy for poor countries like India my friend.... unfortunately....

also, corruption, fund diversion/priority and less care for human lives.

Hope pilot is safe.

If by safe you mean splattered across the ground

Then yeah he is safe

Don't forget some very senior officers from both Army and Airforce who perished recently in the IAF helicopter crash

MIG 21.... they form the backbone of IAF and are still deadly machines.

One lost in combat in 2019, one crashed now. Still deadly.

Atleast Rafael have got a decent safety record in IAF.

That won't last long

I hope the frog eaters regret their decision selling them their fighter. It will get a bad reputation hopefully.
