Indian airforce's biggest enemy - IAF fighter pilots!!!! - a landmark failure
by: "Saleh" - Aug 27, 2011
The Indian airforce is the biggest enemy of its own. It has set a record that no other airforce in the world can easily break. In the last 40 years it has crossed the landmark of crashing its 1000'th plane. It is some record!!!! One can blame the older planes and non-availability of spares for some of the crashes, but according to their own investigations nearly 40% of these crashes are due to pilot error and many cases are still under investigation. The list of crashes include 2 Sukhoi SU-30MK1 aircrafts and Mig-29s. I am wondering what the state of affairs be when indians will start getting more of these modern aircrafts..., when they cannot even fly the Mig-21s....
Indian efforts to produce its own aircraft has become a shame for their production facilities. It has been more than 3 decades and they are still struggling to induct their LCAs ... and now their new definition of 'indigenous' is 'anything that you can get hold of from any country wishing to export'. Now they are involving many foreign companies to help them fly it, that includes engines, and much more...by the time it is ready to fly in the airforce it would be an obsolete frame, with costs higher than the F-16s.... They are also planning to buy the famous 126 planes and short-listed eurofighter and French Rafael ...the irony is, it will drain India its $20-30 billion dollars, and they will get a plane of the 90s, with no AESA radar, planes for which Pakistan is already fine tuning its JF-17s Block II and the J-10s....the most cost effective planes in the world equipped with AESA radars.....and our military and Chinese are to be saluted for these low-cost, high quality achievements...!!!!!!
Long live Pakistan!

1,000 aircraft lost by IAF in crashes since 70s
Aug 04, 2011
NEW DELHI (PTI): In the last 40 years, the Indian Air Force has lost 1000 aircraft in accidents of which 39 per cent were caused by pilot error.
A Parliamentary Committee report on Wednesday said that, the IAF has lost 999 aircraft since the 1970s and human error and technical defects were the main cause behind these crashes.
One MiG 27 had crashed in Biakaner yesterday in which the pilot was killed.
"In 39.5 per cent of the cases, technical defect is the cause and in 39 per cent of the cases, human error was found to be responsible," the report said.
The Committee was informed by the IAF that of these 999 accidents, 12 cases were being investigated by the service.
Servicing error caused 1.6 per cent of the accidents wheras nine per cent of the crashes were caused by bird hit and the remaining were because of the errors by the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
Most of the accidents have involved the MiG series aircraft which are on their way out of service and are planned to be phased out in next four to five years.
