I think this tweet is fake. Anyone can tell whether it is MKI or MIG by looking at once due to size difference. Why they reported false news earlier?

Well by looking at engines its seems its MKI

After One and Half years ; another crash

There was No crash in 2016 ; the last crash was in May 2015 (19 May 2015 )

Given that we are literally flogging our Su 30s -Nearly 300 Hours flying Per year
This is bound to happen

Both Pilots ejected safely - Thank God for that

I think it's not because of spares else wouldn't have got clearance for sortie...

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

Its Su 30, leading aircraft in your inventory as of now. Good that pilots survived.

NEW DELHI: An Indian Air Force Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter aircraft crashed in Rajasthan's Shivkar Kudla village in Barmer on Wednesday, ANI reported.

The jet crashed during the routine sortie. The incident took place after hours after a Chetak helicopter of the Indian Air Force crash landed in Uttar Pradesh, moments after it took off from an airbase on the outskirts of Allahabad this morning. No casualties have been reported, defence officials said.

Last year, in September, a MiG-21 aircraft had crashed in the same area.

Spares is not the issue ; If spares had been the problem them we
would be cannibalising them

That is Not happening at all ; infact availability has increased to 65 Percent

Last time the Russians blamed the pilots ; anyway there can be many reasons

Now a days Many Young pilots are directly put in Su 30 squadrons

Because the Fleet size is growing every year and Mig 21 fleet is getting reduced
due to retirement

However Given the intensive Training that IAF does ; some crashes will happen

As I said SU 30 pilots do 300 Hours a year

It can be a Maintenance glitch also ; the Court of Inquiry will find out
