NEW DELHI — The ceiling of a hangar collapsed last week at an air base at Gwalior, 170 miles southeast of New Delhi, damaging eight Indian air force Mirage 2000 combat jets, it was reported Thursday.

Two of the French-built planes, purchased in 1985, were damaged beyond repair and six others suffered extensive damage, according to Defense Ministry sources quoted by the Indian Express. The cost was estimated at $175 million. Defense Ministry spokesman T.G. Nallamuthu confirmed the accident but insisted the damage to the jets was minor.

RIP to the pilots. All of India's Mirage 2000 need to be replaced with Rafale. The airframes are too old.

It's a serious issue nowadays for not taking all branches of engineering with equal seriousness. Computer engineering guys are earning top $s that discourages meritorious STEM folks to join other engineering branches...

Freshly upgraded by HAL - I guess that explains why it crashed sad news about the pilots though, hope their families sue HAL
