Mig21 crashed at Rajasthan

@hellfire
The incident that you had quoted must have been about the Mig21 pilot who was killed in 2014,Anantnag.
Last year,there were 2 Mig21 crashes, pilots ejeced safely in both the cases. Fortunately!!!

Yeah. Confused the years, somehow landed in 2015 today.:sick:

That is why self deleted the post.

What India needs is to to comprehensively look at two things
  1. A proper investigation to understand technical reason behind the crash - a system/sub system failure due to ageing aircraft, a faulty part or a human error as Mig 21s and its trainers are quite unforgiving type aircraft
  2. To properly allocate and expedite the modernization plan to replace all aged fleet in order to not fall for the trap of a dated aircraft which is at higher acceptable risk in a matrix.

Blaming just Tejas LCA is not a solution. Nor saying getting any other jets is really. We have known Mig 21 and Mig 27s needs replacement from very long. So in a nutshell its a collective failure of government, HAL, our MIC and our industry that we could not chart out a proper plan to replace the retiring fleets or aged fleets and expedite our modernisation plan.

By Gods grace our pilot is safe. But we should wake up to understand the cause and also look at point 1 and 2 more closely.
you dont need to spin the simple fact, Tejas was designed to be in service by late 90s, yes it was delayed by 5-6 years due to sanctions but has been unnecessary delayed for last 15 years, by now india should have atleast have inducted more fighters than recent thunder, and this issue would have solved, there is nothing wrong in LCA it is very good fighter, IAF is simply refusing to buy it( till very recent, to little, too late)

PAF is Still Flying F-7

IAF Mig-21 Bison is Still Relevant Till 2022
those are very new airframes(late 90s), and PAF is actively replacing them at the fastest possible pace

Replacing them with another F7 copy JF 17, the plane which can't even compare up to Tejas.

LOL
 
In recent mig21 crashes pilots survived, i guess they fly with one hand on ejector control..
