India to gift Russia an HAL-built MiG-21 fighter jet

[KapitaanAli]

Loss of 200+ airframes in different crashes along with 170 IAF and 40 civilian fatalities,you still think that

An amateur post.

IAF MiG21 crash rate is lower than or comparable to its global competitors. Within those crashes, a flurry of them were due to them being given to inexperienced pilots. It's an unforgiving aircraft.

It's also noteworthy that the upgraded IAF MiG21s have a very low crash rate.

It would make more sense to gift the Russians that ugly piece of useless crap Tejas.

As long as it helps Modi get reelected though.

The funny thing is Pakistan does not even have the capability of producing an MIG-21. In fact, they cannot produce any aircraft without China. I wonder if China wants to use the JF-17 thunder?


Just more butthurt Pakistanis throwing a tantrum on Indian forums. Nothing to see here.

Lol The Russians sell you kits and you put them together, following the manuals also given to you by the Russians.

India is the only country that can guarantee a glitch-free MiG21 today.

Mig 21 is Russian product 100%. India can only guarantee a free service, nothing more.

Russia will probably reverse-engineer this 6th Generation aircraft and build a 7th Generation aircraft based on this.

this will be worse gift of history . like someone gift saharan country sand or an island nation a bucket of sea water

Its a symbolic gift of the Russia India partnership that goes back 70 years. Putin will certainly appreciate it even if Pakistanis cannot.
You could gift him the 10th generation Chinese plane "Thunder" when he drops by in Pakistan after his Indian visit in October. He is, I am sure, bound to drop by to see the great Khan and Pakistan which according to PDF is Russia's new BFF

russian bone yards already have so much of mig-21

Russia never operated the MiG21, which is one of the reasons this gesture makes sense as a gift. It's not like they can't make one or just buy one, but that's why this is just a gift.
