Good news is that pilot is safe........Mig-21s are being replaced guys...hold on it will take some time(4-5 years) before they replace all of it as they were great in numbers.

IAF is already replacing them with MKIs....by 2017 all of 21s will be replaced with MKIs.

Serious question.

Why is India's aircraft loss rate seemingly higher than any other air force especially with its Mig-21s?

because our Mig-21s have become obsolate and 50 year old aircrafts

Question is . Will LCA provide 10% commission, Will LCA provide prostitutes to high level dalals.. If yes then it is ready, else F22 will also not ready..

IAF will reject F22 stating , Its not good plane unless the manufacturar provide kick-back..

Indeed, however, India seems to be losing them at a much faster rate than air forces that still operate them.Other air forces only lose about one a year in the air. Is it just my perception or is there a problem in maintenance or logistics within the IAF.

Incidentally, it was an upgraded Bison version.
