India grounds entire Sukhoi-30 fleet

[Burhan Wani]

HI,

F 35's were grounded---F22's were grounded---F15's were grounded---F18's and F 16's---all have been grounded---the reason being----when an unknown catastrophic incidence occurs---that is the standard operating procedure---.

NO.

NO.

If it was pilot's fault and the fleet is fully operational

Surely you are smart enough to realize that the fellow you are responding to is intentionally wasting our time?

It's also called argument from nagging. It's one of many irrefutable method of argument. After a point, the only thing to do is to tell him that he is right and let him enjoy the victory.

I knew from the way he started the innocuous line of questioning, that this is the point he would get to.


Big daddy China operates several hundreds of Su30 MKKs, which are a variant of the same Su-30s. Malaysia, Algeria, and others also operate them. Not to mention all the other countries that operate the flanker series.

That is the variant you are talking about. Not this particular model SU-30MKIs which is only operated by India.

Sir then why they aren't accepting their fault? some one said it is Pilot's fault. If it is pilot's fault then why entire fleet is grounded

The reason why they don't accept their fault (as usual) is because they might be thinking that ISI is behind this crash.

India has grounded its entire Sukhoi-30 fleet after a recent crash because it doesn’t want to put its pilots in harm’s way.

The fighters have not flown for a week after a Su-30 MKI of the Indian Air Force crashed near Pune, raising questions about the safety record of the fighter.

With the IAF operating close to 200 twin-engine Su-30s, the grounded planes represent almost a third of the country’s fighter fleet. India is due to get 72 more of these planes, each worth over Rs. 200 crore.

The IAF is down to 34 combat squadrons, as against an authorised strength of 44. Each squadron has up to 18 fighter planes.

An IAF official said safety checks with “special focus on ejection seats” were being conducted and flight operations would resume only after each plane was cleared. A highly-placed source said the pilots of the plane that crashed on October 14 near Pune had reported “automatic seat ejection.” One of the two pilots was involved in a previous Su-30 crash too.

Five Su-30 fighters have crashed during the last five years, setting off alarm bells in the IAF. The Su-30 fleet has been grounded at least twice in the past.

Former IAF chief Air Chief Marshal Fali Major told HT, “A fleet is grounded when you have no clue as to what brought the plane down. It’s serious.”

Asked if buying Su-30s was a doubtful choice, Major said the planes were splendid but IAF needed to get to the bottom of the problem. Hindustan Aeronautics Limited assembles and repairs these planes in India.

IAF chief Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha had told reporters on October 4 that the Su-30 fleet was facing certain problems, but he refused to elaborate. The IAF’s Su-30 fleet has faced a high number of mid-air engine failures during the last two years, said another official.

I'm pretty sure the guy is trolling them and so hard that they still don't realize it.

Brilliant, lets send in the F-16s and harass Modi's jets across the border with short radar locks. With no frontline jets cleared to fly, he is down to fulcrums while Mirage-2k are undergoing upgrades.

 

[Thorough Pro]

so IAF's air superiority, the mighty SU30 MKI fleet is grounded once again?

Not sure if it's only me but this thread brought back memories of water car engineer.

They will be begging for a surrender in a week because of all the harassment.

JK!

you are most welcome to try but after that don't rush to UN, US, China, OIC etc when India responds

 

[AMDR]

Better safe than sorry. Good move by the IAF
