You are dumb for your own liking, this is what i posted.....It does not talk about the Srinagar incedent you talked about!!!
Nor it talks about Pilot error being the main source!!!!
Nor it talks about 2 squadrans being destroyed!!
What unconfirmed reports you are talking about now?
If you dont have sources dont make such loud claims!!
And this is what the article discloses........The IAF Jaguars have never once fired in anger, yet since it's induction into the Indian service, the airforce has lost the equivalent of two squadrons in accidents and pilot error, the irony is the Jaguar is a twin engine platform, meaning that little bit extra safety.
1: @ The IAF lost the equivalent of two squadrons, hence the article disclosing the loss of over 35 aircraft, now let me spoon feed you, each IAF squadron deploys around 16 aircraft ..........HAL has so far produced close to 100 Jaguars. Of the 17 Jaguar trainers, all equipped to DARIN II standard, 8 aircraft have been delivered to IAF. The remaining 9 will be produced within this financial year. In 25 years of its service IAF may have lost over 35 Jaguar aircraft. A DS aircraft was the first to be lost due to bird hit on one engine. Unlike the HF-24, the break up of the engine damaged the other engine as well forcing the pilot to bail out. Losses have been due to bird hits, pilot error, engine failures after debris ingestion and disorientation at night. Unconfirmed press reports indicate that IAF may order twenty more strike fighters.
2: @ In accidents and pilot error..... hence the article, losses have been due to bird hits, pilot error, etc etc.
See if you can accumulate and digest this, before asking for more.
