uhm no, that was also indian brahmos that was shot down, of excuse me, "malfunctioned and crashed"!

 

[Joe Shearer]

uhm no, that was also indian brahmos that was shot down, of excuse me, "malfunctioned and crashed"!

You are right. You can point proudly to defence projects that never overrun time or cost limits, self-developed planes - and tanks! - that never malfunction, rockets that go straight and never burn off the carefully applied paint, and now, corvettes that are built by thought alone, someone else providing the mundane shipyard and workers.

Glorious achievements.

That's very unfair.

US has such deployments since past 5 decades nothing new however the air incidents are increasing day by day in the past couple of years esp in last 2

Poorly thought out thread.

Important thing is flight hours/crash - USAF has decent record in that regard. India is decent as well, except for the older models (which are also mostly safe, mig 21s have a bad rep from the time AF had the brilliant idea of using them as trainers. Killed a lot of trainee pilots).

Pak has its share of crashes, two in the last week if I remember right. Nothing out of the ordinary, happens to all air forces that actually fly their planes.

 

[Windjammer]

Then the likes of Russia and China would have worse crash record than India.
Also the USAF having regular crashes is understandable as it flies all over the globe regularly both in combat and otherwise, even in Ladakh Region, the IAF was just showboating by sending up single jets for photo shoots.

Both under report heavily. Check the Indo chinese clash, India, Russia, US, Australia independently arrived at 40 chinese killed. China claimed first 0 killed, then admitted 4 killed, now 5. Same with covid figures. So no surprises there.

And those are called air patrols, not showboating. And jets in teams fly a few kilometers apart, so only one is going to get clicked by dude on the ground.
