Can't see the picture. It might be a no. Sooner or later we'll see one on J-10b if Russians can not deliver 99M2 engines.

Thats one nice looking aircraft! Cant wait to see it in Pakistani colours, and better yet, once we get tinkering with it, you know our Pakistani engineers will make some super mod upgrades on it for which the Chinese love us for

Btw, does anyone know when delivery of the Pakistani batches is scheduled?
and are there any with Pakistani Air Force insignia??

The frequent MiG-21 crashes are due to a variety of reasons- inadequate pilot training, insufficient maintainence and the raw age of the plane. India has been operating MiG-21s since the early 1960s. Over such a long period, the number of crashes will also compound. Crashes of ancient MiG-21s can't be compared to the crashes of brand new state-of-the-art J-10s.

Yeah, they still teach dogfighting skill however. If for example, your C&C and AWACS support is gone and you can't use your radar for some reason, you may need to engage inside visual range. Also, in Vietnam, the US had the policy of not engaging until visual range to make sure the targets were not friendlies. This took away the technical advantage, and forced plenty of dogfights. Besides which, a good dogfight just builds character!

Classy, mocking the death of a serviceman and fellow human being.

Old fighters , new fighters, basic trainers, jet trainers. In India they are all crashing.

An Indian Su-30MKI fighter jet crashed on Monday near Jaisalmer in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, but both pilots survived, an Air Force spokesman said.

"The aircraft crashed during an ongoing exercise. Both pilots ejected safely and were not injured," the official said.

The incident was the second since the Russian-made Su-30MKI was put into service with the Indian Air Force in 2002, and occurred five days after Indian President Pratibha Patil flew in a two-seat Su-30MKI jet for 30 minutes.

The first Su-30MKI crashed in April during a routine training flight near a village 170 kilometers (105 miles) from Jaisalmer, killing one of its two pilots.

Russia sent in May a group of 20 experts to examine the wreckage of the plane and help the Indian Air Force with the investigation, but the results of the probe have not been disclosed.

The Indian Air Force originally ordered 50 SU-30MKI aircraft from Russia in 1996-98 and an additional 40 planes in 2007. Hindustani Aeronautics (HAL) was also contracted to build 140 aircraft in India between 2003 and 2017 under a licensed production agreement.

The Indian military said after the April accident it was satisfied with the performance of Russian Su-30MKI fighters, despite the crash, and planned to double the number in service with the air force to at least 230 by 2015.

Old fighters , new fighters, basic trainers, jet trainers. In India they are all crashing.

Even new aircraft are sometimes lost in crashes. But that does not prove that the aircraft or the airforce operating them is inferior. There are a variety of factors leading to a crash like mid-air collisions with birds or human error.

Can you name atleast one air force which has not crashed even a single aircraft to date?
