At this point can we get news when something doesn't crash in the IAF? Something like:
"January 24, 2022 - today IAF suffered 0 accidents"

IAF Mug-21 crashing is not surprising only problem is counting how many crashing each year
Hopefully it will be last aircraft crash by Indian military this year .

But at least Tejas participated in Dubai Airshow and JF-17 didn't. That should be enough for all IAF fanboys

Why is it just the Mig21 that crashes like 90% of the times?

 

[Taimoor Khan]

Atleast Rafael have got a decent safety record in IAF.

What about pilot?

 

[PanzerKiel]

Pilot is dead.

Hope pilot is safe.

 

[SIPRA]

Pilot is dead.

Generally, they succeed in ejecting. This must then be some abrupt crash.

seems by end of 2030 when bison is suppose to retire(unless IAF cut squadrons to less then 42), all mig21s will self retire through crashes

Why is it just the Mig21 that crashes like 90% of the times?

Because its these old work horses being mostly flown to make up the flying hours else you might see an odd Rafale or SU-30 being sent up just for a phto op in Ladakh Region.
