A mix of first 2, our pilots are good because if they were not, you would had achieved your objective by now...

We never come uninvited, for that you need to come and ask us first.
On topic: India needs to retire these relics, iam glad that pilots are safe.

Only a foolish set of people will ask their pilots to stress the aircraft till it is 'ready to crash' - the increased crashes do not send the required message to opposing air forces. Either it is just a bad time for IAF or that sortie rates have increased suddenly without adequate maintenance being done. Are you sure that sortie rates have increased?

Comprehension problem. Stressing capabilities means simply simulating a war time flight pattern, or just higher than normal. It implies an accompanying increase in maintenance operarions as well, and any short comings would show up very quickly. The crash will be investigated, root causes found, and steps taken to remove them, thus increasing war time preparedness.

Have they been stressing their capabilities to find weaknesses for the last 70 years then?

My comment was based on the spate of crashes seen in various different types of aircraft within a short period of time.

Increased sortie or poor maintenece and poor pilots

A mix of first 2, our pilots are good because if they were not, you would had achieved your objective by now...

How does the crash of the Mirage-2000 fits into this equation, as it was just out fresh after a major upgrade and being flown by test pilots.

What would pilots do if the machine itself is faulty?? they are called test pilot for reason, incompetency of HAL is another topic...

When an Air force crashes over 50 of it's twin engine Jaguars and earns a depressing distinction for it's MiG fleet, is it fair just to blame HAL and maintenance crew.

I have not seen any PAF f-16 flying over mumbai, delhi or himachal for instance, they are good enough for me, and how did you end up with that 50 crashed jaguars? any source?

what a shame for iaf .

mig-27 are still flying ? they have been retired almost 10 times .

since their LCA can enter service 10 times i'm sure their Mig27 also can be retired 10 times
