One less aircraft for IAF

Now I will be hated but the poor ness of this country states : we can loose a few pilot but not anymore of these jets.

Indian airforce have some of the crappiestt pilot in world. Air crafts are fine many country fly even worst airframe and engine.

Ageing airframes.

Weren't the Jaguars recently given upgrades/mid life upgrades? Or was it due?

AFAIK, the upgrades did not involve airframe changes. Only the addition of radars, electronics upgrade, ability to fire short range A2A missiles.

A wing fell off ?

Probably not.

 

[Donatello]

It was twin engine, can't really blame a flameout.
