...20 lac for crashing Sukhoi, b'cos if we have such crashes, we can go for big deals with US companies for more 'advanced planes'...

Why big fuss about the crash?
by Indian Guru on Dec 21, 2011 06:42 PM  | Hide replies

There are 1000s of sorties that are flown by all fighter, helicopter and transport pilots every day by IAF..

A crash is just like any other accident. There are so many cars, bikes involved in road accidents which occur day in day, where scores of people loose their lives..

My guess Sukhoi Pilots should not be too serious about it and resume their duty and allow the investigation and technical teams on the ground to do their duty..

We must stop using unauthorized third-party spare parts for maintenance. Many of the Mig 21 crashes were attributed to low-quality spares procured from third-parties. The earlier crashes of Sukhoi MKI were caused by an error in the fly-by-wire control which had been repaired by our own people. Russia is the only dependable defence partner as far as India is concerned and they have a very good track record. We can't trust the US and they don't share any advanced technology with us. So, go ahead and purchase more Sukhois from Russia and join hands with their experts in the design and development of 5th generation fighter aircraft.

Go for the best fighter

Indian Air Force should go for the latest and most efficient fighter. The best option is go for USA fighters to avoid lost of more men.

This is a WRONG example of leading from front. Just an hour of flight ona ny one of Sukhois cant ensure safety of all other machines. There should be thorough investigations both from IAF and Sukhoi manufactureer. Later, the Sukhoi can be labelled "reliable".

Well said Manjunath.When George Fernandes was the defence minister he rode a MIG airforce plane ..But what results it shows.Can that guaranteed the lives of many other pilots lost in MIG crashings evry years even after Defence Minister riding one MIG fighter??

Hope you guys knows what is the meaning of leading from the front? The Chief did a good job and that is building confidence. And that is enough for his cadre. Period.

Its not just the pilots risking their lives.. Every day all Indians risk their lives by travelling in substandard vehicles on substandard roads...

In all these years since IAF started, we have lost close to 200 pilots both in peace and war time...

We have to be content with the figures as driving or flying machines involves risk..

Its not like we are loosing pilots or machines day in day out..
