Pilot is safe. Aircraft can be bought.
The Mig 29K.must have been brand new.

Seems to be a Training Mission.

IAF does not operate MiG-29K. No IAF MiG-29s crashed since 2013.

Yes thats what i was thinking, the Indian Airforce & Navy, they crash brand new, state of the art aircrafts too often, like Su-30 mki, Mig 29s or Mirage 2000 etc.

How do you conclude maintenance is an issue an responsible.fr this crash. It could be human error.

India needs a hall of fame for all these heroic ejections from Russian jets.

Planes crash all the time, but it's preferable for Pakistan when India loses 4th gen fighters vs Mig-21s.
