why not just send your mirages and Rafaels over to the Mirage rebuild factory in Kamra. It would be so much cheaper and higher quality work?

So far they have crashed close to ~1200 in peace time a world record....

 

[Mentee]

imagine spending billions upon billions on your airforce and when the time comes to take on the enemy 7 times smaller its size the air chief chickens out requesting the army to launch land based missile and there's no one ready to ingress in to enemy territory which just pounded military depots inside india

What abt your recently crashed jf 17b ?

It was a bird strike and had nothing to with maintenance, but I agree this thread is unneeded, it’s not discussing anything new about the title it presents, which has been discussed to death.

And these are just from average Indian sites.

Flankers are very maintenance heavy and thus suffer from low availability rates.

What kind of masochist are you? You love getting yourself embarrassed in front of everyone?

Islamabad surprises India by ordering 4O Mirage 2000s from France

Stoppage of US aid to Pakistan and the uncertain fate of India`s Soviet aircraft change strategic balance.

We support and overhaul 3 versions of the mirage inclusive of avionics ,with very high praise from tbe French. I am sure we can build this capability for a good price

Same is true for the Rafael. Pakistan also supports over 70 f-16s and Jf-17

2019 was very bad for indian airforces in every field including maintenance and crashes. But the past 2 years results shows a major improvement with reduction in crashes. Things will improve further as both neigbors are upgrading their fleets.

 

[Patriot786b2]

Its a huge massive blessings for Pakistan and confidence booster that your enemy is behind clearly :
1st manufacturing & producing own aircrafts
2nd unable to maintain basics of aircrafts know how
3rd everyone inside India's HAL covers up their faces psychologically on corruption
