indian air force has proved that they are way ahead of my follow-ups in crashing fighter aircraft. This time it was no ordinary one but the prized Sukhoi SU-30MK1, indians top if the line aircraft, for which they have ordered nearly 200+.
This is no small incident. The indian airforce chief has to fly another Sukhoi for an hour to calm down nerves of the pilots as they fear that the planes are unsafe for flying. All the rest were grounded for investigations. It is not clear whether it is the plane manufacturers who are conspiring against the indian air force sending them planes that just find the dust, or it is the pilots who are conspiring against their own air force... !!! To set the record straight, this is the 3rd Sukhoi SU-30 aircraft that has crashed in indian hands. Will foreign companies stop selling to india any planes as it gives a very negative image of their aircraft the world over?
This may be the 1008th plane that indians have lost in attrition, but to be honest, I have lost count!!!!
