That sounds like Top Gun. But I am looking forward to how SU30MKI could have such error. Normally dumb bombs get armed after x seconds when they really are released. This sounds like a Russian bomb going against all logic. Does someone know how these Russian bombs function? I have not see any safety systems nor have a clue.

I read it but strange part of GSM using to call wife first. After such an accident most people would have been filled with adrenaline and just sit and wait.

If a plane like F-22 Raptor could have serious errors with critical systems like OBOGS, this is not all that surprising.

Freak accidents happen for all planes, if it's a manufacturing or design fault, it will be rectified. For example the German
Eurofighters were recently found to have faulty holes drilled in the airframe which can lead to safety issues after the
airframe begins to get old.

People have done stranger and more drastic things in the name of love than this.

Hawks Fly Away With India’s Jet Trainer v2 Competition

New tender for aerobatic team – but the real story is the beginning of a culture of accountability in the Ministry.

Oct 10/14: Aerobatic. India’s MoD has issued a fresh tender for 20 Hawk AJTs, in order to replace the Surya Kiran Aerobatic Team’s aged HJT-16s. This has been delayed for quite some time (q.v. May 6/12, Sept 14/12) – but in a very big change for India, the behavior is being called out, with consequences promised:

“The original file related to the tender had gone missing and the process had to be restarted by the Government…. The defence ministry has taken a serious view of the lapses on part of the officials handling the file and an inquiry has been ordered, officials said. Disciplinary proceedings would be initiated against officials who are found responsible for the lapses…”

Seems there’s a new Sheriff in town. Sources: India’s Economic Times, “Defence Ministry issues fresh tender for 20 Hawk aircraft”.

Nineteen fighter aircraft of the IAF have met with accidents in the last three years, with human error and technical defects being the main reasons, Defence Minister told Parliament in July this year.

According to the minister, the fighter planes that met with accident in the last three years include eight MiG-21s (different versions), three Jaguars, three MiG-29s, two Sukhoi SU-30MKIs, two Mirage 2000 and one MiG 27 ML.

Nine accidents took place in 2011-12, four in 2012-13, five in 2013-14 and one in 2014-15

The plane still look salvageable after the crash. Not too bad.

Yes according to sources inside the I.A.F. the plane is not a write-off,it'll repaired and returned to the force by HAL within 4-5 months,all thanks to the effort by the pilot to make it a controlled crash landing instead of bailing out of the aircraft earlier.
