NEW DELHI: An Indian Air Force (IAF) MIG-23 aircraft has crashed in Rajasthan's Jodhpur in the second such incident reported in 48 hours. Both pilots ejected safely before the aircraft went down in the Balesar area.

The aircraft was on a routine training mission. A Court of Inquiry has been ordered.

On Tuesday, an Air Force chopper, an Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) involved in flood rescue, went missing in a deep ravine in Arunachal Pradesh.

Reports suggested that its debris was spotted yesterday but the Air Force has not confirmed it. The helicopter had been on multiple sorties to evacuate people stranded after massive landslides caused by heavy rain in Arunachal Pradesh.

In May, two pilots died after a Sukhoi-30 fighter jet crashed near the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border.

Is IAF trying to phase the Migs out by crashing rather than retiring ?

 

[Callsign Chaos]

Wrong info there was only one MiG-23 crash.

No they are practicing ejection since Su-30MKI pilots failed to eject last month.

They must retire this fighter now.it threatens life on the ground as well.

 

[DarX]

Didn't the IAF retire all MIG-23 jets a few years ago? Or are they continuing to use the training versions and this was one of those?

The Article doesn't say that there were two MIG-23 crashes. The First Crash was the Helicopter during relief work and the second Crash is this incident...Kindly re-read the article...

since when 72 virgins became synonymous with your religion?

You are talking like ISIS.

 

[Khatri_pune]

The title of the article is creating a misconception.....
Two different incident involving different platforms at very distant location used for different purposes....

One for a search and rescue mission AND other was a routine training sortie.
One in dry desserts of Rajasthan and other at hilly hy altitude region

How can one compare them.

Non the less there was loss....
