So having a sticky thread in your pea brain translates into having comparisons.Since this a sticky now, this fact is needed for fair comparison:
From January 2012 onwards Number of PAF fighter losses: 26
From January 2012 onwards Number of IAF fighter losses: 33
Ratio: 1:1.27
Now taking into account the fact that IAF inventory is nearly two times larger than PAF, IAF crash rate is pretty low.

Well, let me put your little mind to rest. Most of IAF's front line inventory consists of twin engines,(SU-30, MiG-29, Jaguars). Where as all PAF aircraft are single engine. If you want to compare, just see your recent Republic Day flypast, Mirage-2000, MiG-21, Tejas, Hawks, all single engine didn't participate.
The PAF lost 9 F-16s during their 36 years of service including several years combat operations, the IAF OTOH, has crashed same number of SU-30s in 16 years without a single combat operation.
And i will let you tally the Jaguar crashes,
