The incident took place amid a recent escalation of the Indian-Pakistani conflict over the Indian strikes on targets inside Pakistan and the followed shot down of an Indian MiG-21 jet by the Pakistani Air Force.
Southfront is doing an excellent job covering a wide range of issues. Like I said from get go, that in this age of smart phones nothing can remain hidden. Indians idiots have lost 5 planes and one helicopter in the past few days. They will no airforce left a this rate. India has also lost a Jaguar yesterday near Bengal. The tally since the Zionist goaded morons took on the PAF last week has been 2 Mig 21 Bisons, 1 Jaguar and 1 SU-30 MKI and 1 MI-17 helo. This flying coffin Bison upgraded by Zionist scum went down in Bikaner’s Shoba Sar ki Dhani area in the Rann of Kutch region where India had previously fought an unsuccessful border war with Pakistan in 1965.

Squadron Leader Hasan Siddiqui and Wing Commander Nauman Ali Khan nominated for Sitari-e-Jurat, Pakistan’s second highest military award for valor. (Star of Valor) for shooting down a Mig 21 and SU-30.
Why are India’s air force planes falling out of the sky?
The latest incident came earlier this week, when a Russian-made Sukhoi-30 crashed in eastern India – both pilots surviving after ejecting for unspecified reasons.
All five crew died in March this year on a training flight in their US-made Hercules transport aircraft.
‘Flying coffin’
But it is the Russian-made aircraft that form the backbone of the Indian fleet which have been the most accident-prone. The MiG jet in particular has become known as the “flying coffin” or the “widow maker”.
Two years ago, India’s then defence minister told an astonished parliament that more than 437 the 872 MiGs it had purchased from Russia had been lost in accidents, at a cost of over 250 lives.These figures do not include recent losses to Pakistan in India’s ill-fated air campaign.
Apparently,pilots regularly complain that some MiG models land too fast and that the design of the window canopy means they can’t see the runway properly
you do have a mental problem and it is obvious. You know what we say for people like you that remind a windmill that turns in all directions even when wind dont blow?
The whore want to hide it, but the joy dont let her.
Why you resident retard, you have a problem with the truth, dumbass ROFLMAO :) you must the pride of your special ed class.
While you ridicule India for flying 3rd generation (60 year old design) jet. Your Iran does exactly the same as far as I know. MiG is one of the best jets ever made and if they have accidents after so many years there is no surprise. Much newer jets fall from the sky.
Not correct. Iran has barely lost 17 aircraft since the end of crazy Saddam’s war. Not one F-14A has been lost. You need to check some figures. Some F-4E and F-5E have crashed initially due to 40 year old total embargo on spares by Americunts. Thankfully, no fighter crashes recently. Indian cow piss drinkers have crashed half their airforce and or it shot down despite crawling up Russian and Americunt arse. True fact!
