really.
your MOD told your parliament that your losses in past 5 years is 50 jets lost to crashes. and here you go again.
june 2015: The IAF data on flight crash shows that there have been 50 IAF crashes in the past 60 months. in next 12 months you lost confirm 5 jets, 1 transport aircraft at sea.
pakistan airforce plane crashes 20. (last 5 years)
indian airforce crashes plane 55. (last 5 years)
1:2.7
indian airforce is just 1.9 times bigger than pakistan airforce.
in 2013:
According to figures released by the
defence ministry (MoD) in parliament today, the
Indian Air Force (IAF) loses the equivalent of one fighter squadron (16-18 fighters) in crashes every two years.
Over the last five financial years, including the current year that ends on March 31, a total of 50 IAF aircraft have crashed, including 37 fighters and 13 helicopters. Breaking this down year-wise, the MoD says 8 fighters and 2
helicopters crashed in 2008-09; 10 fighters and 2
helicopters crashed in 2009-10; 6 fighters and 6
helicopters crashed in 2010-11; 9 fighters and 1 helicopter crashed in 2011-12; and 4 fighters and 2
helicopters have crashed in the current year.(only airforce figures).

which shows how you lie and only give unauthentic figures which suits you. from 2011 to 2014 your crashes were 35 for airforce only. it is 50 jets from 2009 to march 2013.
it is 35 in 2012,2013 to 2014.the figure of so called 5 years you gave were already crossed in april 2014.
and in 2015 the famous su 30 crashes scandal came.
indian airforce lost 7 aircrafts in just 3 month. not including helicopter crashes.
june 2015: The IAF data on flight crash shows that there have been 50 IAF crashes in the past 60 months. Since January, two MiG-27, a Sukhoi-30 MKI, a MiG-21, a Mi-35 attack helicopter, a hawk advanced jet trainer have crashed.

so your jet crashes in 2012,2013,2014 and 2015 was 50.
From June 2010 onwards, besides the fighter jets, transport planes and even the sophisticated special operation plane, the C-130-J have crashed.
in 2016 many deadly accidents including 1 plane down at sea. few other planes down too.. and it donot include military transport planes which your pilots very skilfully crashed in 2014.
The Indian Air Force has recorded more than 1,100 crashes since 1970, mainly due to technical defect and maintenance faults. Since 2011-2012, the Indian Air Force has lost 15 helicopters and 35 aircrafts in crashes.(until 2015) only. and here you are giving me a number which contradict your own media figures.
india have lost more than 450 migs. Now after this number you can't say your safety record is better or near to PAF.
the best crash record by india was 2.2 in 10 000 aircraft in 2013. previous best was 3.5 per 10 000 hours in 2006-2007.

Pakistan crash rate per 10 000 hours is very much less than 1. Pakistan airforce in 2016 did 2 months along exercises with all airforce taking part in it. even during this exercise. they lost just 3 aircrafts in total along with a drone. only 3 planes lost this year. considering the number of hours flown during exercise. it's excellent safety record.
4 planes were lost during 2015. 5 during 2014.
considering the total strength of PAF and it's participation in war on terror. this record more than excellent considering crashes per 10000 hours.
on the other hand indian airforce is not fighting any war using airforce. it's crashes per 10000 hours are very high.
Pakistan helis are used in war. You can't compare the with helis of army in peace.
