Aircraft Crash Notification

[Varoon2]

Very happy that the pilot of Mig-29K ejected safely. Dismayed, disgusted by the crash, the second in about a week( Oct 5th crash with loss of pilot of helicopter)

Does anyone have stats as to which country has the dubious record of the most military aircraft crashes in absolute or relative terms. Please let it not be India

Until TEDBF gets inducted in the early to mid 2030s, the Mig 29K will have to hold on.

Very unfortunate news but I am glad that the pilot ejected safetly.

Seems like it was another Rudra. Is it just me or Rudra has greater than average crash rates than other ALH versions ?

Arunachal is not an easy place, such accidents do happen in such extreme regions, On Shanti .

Unbearable pain truly Unbearable
I can't even hope their families could handle this news
Just imagine they would be preparing for their festival and now they have to receive the bodies of their son or husband or father or brother
Can't imagine their condition
We lost 5 personnel damn 5

This report says that as many as 7 accidents happened in this place from 2009 onwards. Should we suspect a chinese arm in these accidents? Such a conspiracy theory was discussed in this forum when the Su-30 went down. Due to the Ladakh stand-off, such an angle cannot be ruled out. What do other members say about this? Also, what all can be the likely reactive measures from our side if this is actually the case?

COuld be possible, but what fantasy weapon are they using to cause this? I feel it might be some geographical related cause instead

Terrain is difficult along with extreme weather conditions in these parts.

Spatial Disorientation is a real issue for pilots of choppers flying over these conditions/factors.

Terrain is difficult along with extreme weather conditions in these parts.

Spatial Disorientation is a real issue for pilots of choppers flying over these conditions/factors.

The report says, the pilot had many hours of flying experience. Moreover, the weather wasn't bad. So, in such a scenario, if an experienced pilot had to fail his mission, then there can possibly 2 reasons - 1. An inherent system failure in the chopper that went unnoticed and 2. A real-time sabotage while the aircraft is flying using electro-magnetic jammers that interfere with the aircraft's internal communication system. The second is the possibility I was looking into. Why this option seems so strong to me is that, a military base which has already witnessed one of its choppers going down earlier in this month will not be complacent with the maintenance of its remaining aircrafts.
