Isn't the backseat pilot supposed to eject first? I've heard the backseat pilot would be fried if the frontseat pilot ejected first.
Or is it the other way round?
No you are right the
back seat goes out first then the front seat. If the front guys goes out first than the back seat pilot will come out as a roast duck. the front seat rockets will burn the back seat pilot.
A better comparison would be the mirage 2000's and the mig 29's
The MKI's only arrived in 2002 and from what we hear most of them are grounded at the moment anyway. Give it time and I am sure they will be added to the list
You are wrong there are lots of sorties carried out with MKI in everyday in western India.
According to my reliable source only 10-12 are flying due severe shortage of spareparts.
how can you run out of spare parts of a new plane. May be BAE has not got there payment. If the BAE was waiting for the indians to make the spares than they should know in the last 20 years HAL made only one thing without any Israeli help or Russian help which actually worked GPS's.

New Delhi, May 4 (PTI) Worried over recurring shortage of spares and other vital parts for its imported fighters, transport and helicopter fleet, Indian Air Force has proposed setting up of a Base Repair Depot (BRD) exclusively for indigenisation.
The proposal submitted by the Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal F H Major has been approved by the government and an amount of Rs 100 crore is initially proposed to be utilised for setting up the state-of-art production facilities for the depot.
A board of officers finalised the detailed plan to set up of the BRD which would come up at Devlali in Maharashtra.
"It is an effort to centralise all tasks of indigenisation of vital spares for our air combat assests", a top IAF officer told PTI.
The move by the IAF comes at a time when the force is only able to keep airworthy between 60-70 per cent of its fleet.
For quite a long time fighters like Sukhoi 30 MKI, various variants of MIG's, transport aircraft like IL-76, AN-32 and large number of helicopters have been grounded for non-availability of spares. PTI
