Somehow Egyptian MiG-21s dont seem to crash that often. Su-30 is also a modern plane, why does it crash so frequently in the den of Hindutva radicalism?

as i said .. Mig-21s are past their life ... the earliest ones were inducted in IAF in 1961 !!!!!!

.. and what do you say about the planes flying even less than 5 years .. (and claimed to be 4th gen technology) .... and still falling down...

Which den are you talking about?
We are talking about india here!

Not to forget the supa-dupa J-10 ..... planes with less than 10 or even 5 years in service.... and already falling down...

Mig-21s in IAF were last built in 1980s ... and have served atleast 20 to 25 in service. Even Su-30s have 15+years of service.

Hey you guys living in stone age? It is mordern information age now. There are 500 millon internet users in China. More than 50 million Foreign tourists visiting China freely(not include HongKong and macau) . Who can hide the truth?

J10 did have crashed, but when it crashed, thousands forum post the news, millions of people comment on the news.

It is funny that you have nothing to say about poor performance of IAF , but come to bash China.
Really funny!!

For this alone, every Congressi politician must be hanged to have this all happening and letting it happen throughout early 90s.

These Mig is made by India...not in Russia.
I heard that India manufacturing industry is very weak, so unsurprisingly the jets made by India.

Do you know how old the Mig 21 platforms in India are ?

40 year old planes, handled by cadets in training, are bound to crash..................
Good thing is that we are replacing them with real, dedicated trainers, so the chances of a crash will drastically come down
Manufacturing Industry in India is weak???Wow , were did you hear that??Reading Global Times , have you??
Did you know the majority of bikes and cars assembled in europe are supplied most of the parts by India??? I know this coz my father is one the guys who does this................he manufactures thousands of parts for all major bikes and scooter companies in Europe and exports them........he even does that for a few American Companies!!!
And he is just one from an industry that has a 2000 members........!!!

I wouldn't call that weak , if I were you.......
