Seems like the Mi 35 has gotten too old. Hope the Apaches arrive sooner.

Correction, it's an Air Force asset but kept under the operational command of the Army.

India needa to ramp up its attack helicopters manufacturing bases or atlest purchase more . Insted we are focusing on high end arms like s400s, raffles, nuclear subs .

Epic fail.
No Mi-35 crashed, it was a MiG-23UB from reserve storage.

Yea its a Flying Coffin Series.......

Only flying coffins in the region are Mirage 3 & 5, since 2012, 9 PAF mirage pilots died in crashes whereas only 2 IAF pilots died in MiG-21 crashes.

Yea its a Flying Coffin Series.......

Don't worry, we will cheer when your pilots die in air crashes. You already lost JF-17, F7 and Mirage.

NEW DELHI: An Indian Air Force's MiG-23 trainer aircraft crash landed on Thursday at Rajasthan's Balesar in Jodhpur district, PTI reported.

"It was a MiG-23 UB trainer plane and both the pilot and co-pilot are safe," News agency said while quoting defence sources.

Earlier, it was reported that Indian Army's MI-35 helicopter has crash landed'

Why would IAF bring out an aircraft which has been mothballed, unless there was an urgent need.

As usual commenting before research

The MiG23UB serves as a Trainer for the MiG27UPG Fleet!

Date : 2014

No question of it been mothballed
