As far as I know, both have the Mig-27 variants have the same engines. It is speculated engines could be the main culprits, and not age. Only the Mig-27K has a newer engine, which India does not possess. I guess we have to wait for the accident report to confirm the cause of the crash.

Lets think about this for a moment, The MiG-21 problems were overcome by 2006, a year in which no MiG-21s were lost. India improved maintenance, spare parts quality and pilot training to the point that the aircraft was no longer considered the most dangerous fighter to fly. But they were more expensive to keep in safe flying condition. So now all are headed for retirement.
Something is just not makeing sense here. India grounds the planes for a year improves maintance and spare parts and the planes dont crash for a year and the reason they crashed befor was pilots error. Then India gets rid of the planes because they are too expensive to maintain properly, but the reason for the crashs were pliots error. Of course the pliots woudll receive training, you would just not expect them to take a years vacation. I expect the article I quoted was just using the figures India and Russia furnished. I like to think for my self.
Lot of people in India and Russia have a vested interest in keeping the Migs flying any cost in pliots lives.
