What about the equipment? IAF just lost a important piece of equipment needed for defending the western sector. IAF already has many understrength fighter squadrons with equipment shortages these crashes will increase that substantially and MiG-21 was one of the upgraded ones which means IAF has already spend millions upgrading it to keep it service and it all went down the drain. IAF should have went with Tejas and retired these MiGs a long time ago instead of wasting money upgrading them.

I know but hopefully he will be back with double energy.
Many were not that lucky like recent Mig29K pilot , we have lost lot of good men thanks to Russian equipments and incompetency of bureaucracy.

They have a fleet 6 times our fleet. They have far more flying than us. Your conclusion is incorrect.

Military aircraft are prone to crashes due to a variety of reasons, the first of which is high-performance lightweight engines and the second high amount of electronics inside.

I am not an aircraft mechanic but a PC enthusiast and I know that electronics becomes unreliable after five years of age.

It makes sense to buy F-16 and F-18 from the USA. Nothing changed there. Our fleet is so low that we should consider buying second-hand fighters.

India lacks common sense. This disease is everywhere.
Everybody is happy creating turfs and engaging in turf wars.

Logically we should be having a fleet of 100 Tejas by now!
If IAF has any commonsense, it should be buying second hand F-16s right now.

Surprising thing is that no mig 21 crashed in 2020.
