IAF jet MiG-29k crashes in Goa, probe ordered to look at lapses

[Dalit]

Yet another fighter down.

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

Seems to be a Training Mission.

LOL he says this as if this is a major accomplishment.

If only they maintained the rest of the aircraft as well as they maintained their ejector seats...

i think because the ejector seat doesnt require regular maint. it got spared.

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

I further recommend that, at least, a Vir Chakra shall be awarded to each of such hero ejectors.

A very good observation. Their ejector seats never malfunction.

I have a question:
Why does their Mig29Ks which are operated by their Navy have crashed but the Mig 29UPGs which are operated by their AirForce haven't?

YoungPak,

Tejas. Tejas is the answer.

Indians are just crashing their planes to make room for Tejas!!! It is an Ancient Indian Strategy which none can understand. @SIPRA

An intentional crash of a fine jet to convince the Modi government that the navy needs Hornets.

Yes, no doubt, as in old times, by voluntarily getting defeated, they made appropriate room to accommodate Muslims.

YoungPak,

Tejas. Tejas is the answer.

Tejas has perfect record. And is the most advanced fighter in Indian inventory till Rafale...but by Indians are already busy with even more advanced versions of Tejas!

Soon Tejas will be everywhere.

Well done Indians, well done!

Yes, no doubt, as in old times, by voluntarily getting defeated, they made appropriate room to accommodate Muslims.

So judging by both of your theories of making room by removing the existing, i guess Indians Pissing on streets are making room for Fantastic Tea ?

It's a push for new toys, i.e. they want to create a justification for purchase of Hornets.
