Sea Harriers To Rafales, is History Repeating It'self !

[Novice09]

This is a customary norm and is done with all new acquisitions where prayers are held by the religious priests of Hindu/Muslim/Sikh and Christian faiths

Apache Helo

Chinook

Tejas

Scorpene

Making fun of other's faith and belief is a new normal on this forum... come out with facts and figures... get trolled... reply... get banned... enjoy...

By the way... have you noticed the change in tone in... WE HAVE NUKES...

Their faith is faith... even when some fool blows himself after chanting... *cough*

Tejas that refuses to fly, Submarine that is out of commission due to the damage for over a year ..... someone’s prayers are working.....!!!

Waiting for Apache crash .... Indians love to do that with new aircrafts .... they crashed Mirage 2000, C130 , Hawk , Su30 ..... come on Indians practice Apache crash soon.

Tejas... please update your knowledge base...
C 130... air turbulence during a low flying practice...
2019 is a bad year... agreed...

Crash rate is not dependent on numbers in service. Crash rate of a type is calculated based on the number of crashes per 100,000 or per 10,000 flying hours

For example: If Jordan operates 40 F-16s and the fleet has 2 crashes in 60,000 flying hours in 10 years.
Then crash rate is 0.33 per 10,000 flying hours

Similarly if a country operates 180 F-16s with 200,000 hours and 12 crashes, their crash rate is higher at 0.6/10,000.

BTW US and UK had more than 300 Harrier crashes since inception

Keep trying... best of luck...

PAF acquired 40 F-16s, Crashed 9.
IN acquired 28 or 30 Harriers ? and crashed 17.

PAF F-16's downed several enemy aircrafts and took part in strike missions. How many aircrafts did Harriers shoot down ?

Harrier of every country has a very high crash rate.
As you can in my post above I gave a link which showed that US AV-8A Harrier crash rate was a huge 31.1/100,000 far more than IN Harrier crash rate.

Yea convince yourself with these figures except in USMC there are over 300 AV-8 Harriers operational compared to just 30 what IN had.
