MiG-21 crashes near Gwalior, both pilots safe

I've heard these planes are know as flying Coffins.... Why IA still uses such vintage planes..they should be in Museum by now.
its a plot by the pilots to crash them to end, one by one. few mavericks dont make it alive but most of them do.
 
.
Why PakistanI f7pg don't crash?
I think both are almost same but indian might be crash the whole voluntary rather then grounding them
F7 are relatively new. Mirages are best match. Even they do not crash at such a rate.
 
.
its because these migs don't want to cross LoC anymore...
 
.
yes we still have 150 of them in service. Should really focus to mass produce Tejas and replace all the mig 21s...

That's like slapping the pilots with both hands I'm sure they rather stick with the migs
 
. .
I wonder if it’s worth it to turn old mig 21 s into drones

you guys do realize that 14 of your mirages and 11 F-7P/PG crasged since 2012.
I don’t know how far you had to shove your head up your *** to pull those numbers out of it and then where you found the competence to multiply them with 2. But you ended up doing it anyways. I counted 13 crashes of those 2 types in those years for the PAF Combined. And even if we are to go by your figures and sources. (Mine would be a simple google search and the PAF crash notification thread on this forum), while also taking into account relative sizes of the air forces, how many has India lost? Or need I remind you that it has lost over 10 aircraft this year already while we have lost one, which wasn’t even a jet.

Gwalior. According to sources both pilots ejected safely.

The MiG-21 was a trainer aircraft of the Indian Air Force and the pilots included a Group Captain and a Squadron Leader.

The aircraft was on a routine training mission from Gwalior Airbase when it crashed near the airfield at around 10 AM.

The trainer jet crashed in Choudhary-ka-Pura in Madhya Pradesh's Bhind district, police from the area said.

"The two pilots ejected safely according to the information passed to us from the village head from the spot, some 60 km from the district headquarters," Bhind Superintendent of Police Rudolf Alvares told PTI.

“We informed the IAF officials in Gwalior about the incident,” the SP added.


A Court of Inquiry will ascertain the cause of the accident.



The Indian Air Force lost 27 aircraft, including 15 fighter jets and helicopters, in crashes since 2016, Minister of State for Defence Shripad Naik had said in June 2019. The figure included the downed MiG-21 of Commander Abhinandan Varthaman during a dog-fight with Pakistan Air Force planes on February 27.

Did they also claim that it shot down a Pakistani F-16 just before crash?
