IAF MiG-27 crashes- pilot safe

[Areesh]

Man, your military keeps everything shut air-tight. How are we supposed to know what's really happening there? It ain't simply possible to do that here. Once in a while crashes are reported at your place to show that they're transparent, but you should know that your country's military is much more secretive than ours.

We are also living on the planet earth. Not on mars buddy. Such things can't be hide easily. Talk with sense dear. The fact is that the record of PAF F-7 is far better than your Mig 21.

I understand the point you are trying to make bro but the truth is that the reason u just gave is just outdated and baseless and is again more of a conspiracy theory without substance. Each and every crash is reported by PAF. Its the 21st century man and the information age has taken over, pakistan has free media which reports things as tiny as a kid not being able to piss in gawadar these days.. lol u get my point though.

Why don't you go to the PAF website and check the number of accidents and crashes yourself. Like I said.. please enlighten your self.

Then we should be seriously looking at a ground attack fighter for MRCA, but EF a air superiorirty fighter is leading.. How Bizzare...

And whats the update on Jaguars engine update?? Nothing came up after that Honeywell advertisements.. are these planes flying or what?/

Benny the EF is a multi role ac , groung attack and air supeority . now a days there are only multirole AC made as having and developine fightrs for just strike perpouses is exorbtant.

seriously dude ur just making fun of ur self....
we all know that these planes are outdated and so there is nothing they can do....except to ground their entire fleet of old migs and other a/c.

Indian mig-21 & mig-27 are called "flying coffins"
soon Indian aging mig-29 & hawks be name "flying coffins"

All Indian MIG 29s are being upgraded to MiG-29SMT level with latest avionics, engine, Zhuk-ME radar, weapon control systems by 2013. Abd plus MIG 29ks.

JODHPUR: In yet another crash involving an IAF aircraft, a MiG-27 caught fire on mid-air before falling in a field at Jaitpur village in Pali district on Wednesday. The pilot, Ft Lt A Patni, however, ejected safely.

According to defence PRO, Lt Col N N Joshi, the aircraft was on its routine training sortie and crashed at 1320 hrs, 60 km south of Jodhpur just 15 minutes after it got air borne from Jodhpur air base. A court of inquiry has been ordered to look into reasons behind the accident, he said.

"We saw a plane coming down engulfed in fire and it fell in a field over a herd of sheep," said sarpanch of the village, Arjun Singh. He said there was panic among the villagers for a while as all were fearing explosion. "But once the fire died down, villagers reached the site," he said.

Of the eight air crashes recorded by the IAF this year, this was the fourth MiG-27 crash this year. The first MiG-27 crashed at Hashimara in West Bengal on February 16, the second on June 23 again at Hashimara and the third on September 24 at Kalaikunda in West Bengal. Apart from the MiG-27s, the IAF also lost two MiG-21 variants this year, one at Bagdogra on February 19 and the other in Halwara in Punjab on June 15.

The MiG-27 is a 'swing wing' aircraft and the over 100 of them in IAF combat fleet were hardly flown since 2005-2006 after it was found that their R-29 engines were causing a large number of accidents.

So you think that we have been waiting for your speech to get realize.

This is the reason why IAF is spending Billions of $ on new trainer air crafts, possible upgrades for aircrafts like MIG's, Mirage's and procuring fighters like LCA, PAK FA, MRCA, FGFA, AMCA.

Unfortunately it take a lot of time in order to replace such a large fleet.

Why are IAF pilots so bad at flying?

These are like really really old MIG 27s and MIG 21s. And you already know this I bet.

India needed to replace these maybe more then 10 years ago. Thats why you see the massive over haul and buying in a time when India has the money to spend.

Pakistan has old jets too. You never hear of them crashing.
