Mig-21 crash: No replacement for the ‘Flying coffin’ in near future

[SarthakGanguly]

thats more of a flawed comparison,
Goering had multiple kills in both world wars,
he saw his luftwaffe Transform into Jet age from those propeller driven planes.
though it was late but they were the pioneers.

Goring in 1944 was a corrupt fat morphinist. No more. No less.
His first world war career was history.

and during the very 1944 he commissioned the famous Messerschmidt ME 262 jet fighter and Arado ar 234 Jet bomber in Luftwaffe.
doesnt sound that bad for a head.

Honestly. You need to read a lot about the Third Reich and its chief. The planes were introduced too late and in far fewer numbers. AND not because the German arms industry was bombed to pieces (which it was, but that was not the reason).

Please don't fool yourself. Mig21 outlived its time,and its high time to give a decent farewell to this majestic war machine or else future generation will call it as a rust bucket/ flying coffins etc...

Mig 21 was outdated 20 years ago. LCA was designed to replace Mig 21 in the 90s. LCA itself was planned to serve its time from the 90s till about 2020. Its almost 2020 and LCA is not ready. Hence this problem.

This is beyond ret@rded and lazy journalism making use of tired cliches and empty statements.


"No replacement on the cards"? Well would it surprise this dumbo to know that the IAF is ALREADY standing down many of its MiG-21 SQNs who are being replaced by the Su-30MKIs? And the recent news is the Rafale deal will likely be secured imminently- that is a further 2 SQNs worth from 2017. And then it doesn't surprise me that this genius has missed the RFP for 90 Rafales to be built in India and on top of that the LCA is in the home stretch of attaining its FOC with the final parts (radome and IFR probe) now having been delivered.

90 rafale is a pipe dream. Not going to happen.

Nice. Good analysis.

I think the best replacement is to acquire:
100 Rafael
100 EF-2000
100 JAS-39 Grippen

This will replace MiG-21, MiG-23 and MiG-27s easily.

More over, IAF should try to negotiate with ex-operators of Jaguars and M-2000s for the possible supply of parts and full aircraft.
