So we have 232 Su-30 MKIs.
That's a huge number.

So high crash rate of your top tier fighter plane is not a concern for you.
P.S First pray and hope that both the pilot survives.

few...... thats good, so more jets can crash and it doesn't matter since you have plenty of them to spare.
i find it a coincidence that the mki has a high crash rate whilst thesu30/sm,mka and the mkm are doing just fine yet based of the mki.

Yea with one balloon kill to their name.

He's a desperate multi ID fan boy, who the other day even opened a thread comparing PAF and IAF crashes.

Bad weather may be one reason.

Must be embarrassing for him now.

This shows quality of maintenance of crew and spares,

Hope pilots survive the crash.

 

[vikata]

praying for the safety of the pilot and plane
hope to receive comforting news soon

This shows quality of maintenance of crew and spares,

Since January 2012 till today there have 28 crashes of IAF fighter jets whereas PAF has seen 21 fighter jet crashes i.e. a ratio of 1.33:1.
Now taking into consideration the fact the IAF is 1.8 to 2.0x the size of PAF, PAFs crash rate is significantly worse than IAF's.

In helicopter department too, January 2012 onwards Indian military saw 12 write offs & 5 damaged whereas Pakistan whose helo fleet despite being atleast 1.8x smaller saw 10 write offs(incl 1 in Congo) & 5 damaged in same period i.e. a crash ratio of 1.20:1 which means in this department too, Pakistan crash rate is much worse.
