The India Air Force has the worst crash record in the world

According to statistical data available from multiple sources the Indian Air Force (IAF) has the dubious distinction of having the highest crash rate in the world. No other Air Foce comes close. Bharat has a tender bid open to purchase 126 brand spanking new Aircrafts from some of the best plane manufacturers in the world. Delhi has been able to maintain the ignominious distinction of having the worst track record in the word. If the current crash rates continue, it can crash all of its new hardware in 5 to 10 years.

An anonymous American analyst said the following gThis is really unacceptable. Some heads should roll over this, and frankly this insane crash rate is making the IAF the laughing stock of airforces around the world.g

Some salient facts about the crashes with references.

India, using mostly Russian aircraft, has an accident rate of 6-7 per 100,000 hours flown (compared to 4-5 for all NATO air forces.)
The Indian rate had been over ten for many years, and it is still that high, and often higher, with other nations (including Russia and China), that use Russian aircraft designs.
F-15s and F-16s have an accident rate of 3-4 per 100,000 flight hours.
World Record: 500th Flying coffin crashes
1970-2005: IAF has recorded around 700 crashes since 1970, with around 180 pilots and scores of civilians on the ground losing their lives Publication: The Times of India, Date: Monday, September 4 2006
1970-2005: f the 793 MiG-21s progressively inducted in IAF since 1963, 330 have been lost in accidents. The Times of India, Date: Monday, September 4 2006
Most of the crashes have been attributed to pilot incompetence and a lack of training. Another major factor pointed out by the Russians is the fact that Bhrat insisted on using poorly manufactured local parts. After several hundred Migs had crashed, the IAF blamed the manufacturer of a faulty fuel pump. According to the IAF the breakdown in 2005 is as follows. 40%; human error (servicing) 2%; technical defects 41%; bird hits 9%; unresolved 6%; and others 2%.

Bangalore: Three Indian Air Force (IAF) test pilots died on Friday when the prototype aircraft Saras of the state-run National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) crashed near Bidadi, about 30 km from Bangalore, IAF sources said. Sify News. 2009-03-06 18:01:36, Last Updated: 2009-03-06 18:04:26

Recentlythe IAF pilots managed to crash one of the most advanced fighters, the pride and joy of a Resurgent Russia, the Sukhoi 30. Chinese pilots using the same aircraft have hundred of fighters but their track record is a lot better than that of the IAF.

An Indian Air Force pilot was killed and another injured in the first crash of an Su-30 MKI near Pokharan today, prompting the IAF to temporarily ground its most advanced fighter. Indian Express. Manu Pubby, Posted: Friday , May 01, 2009 at 0250 hrs ISTl





An internal investigation of the SU-30 crash will gdiscoverh the following again. Everything will be blamed on gPilot Errorh and the file will be closed, ftill the next crash.

The IAFfs track record in the past decade is dismal by any standards: In the f90s, according to its own submissions in Parliament, it lost 80 pilots and 185 aircraft. Which makes it almost a squadron a year or a fourth of its entire fleet in the past decade alone. And the estimated loss: Rs 6,800 crore.

WRONG

The recent spate in crashes has once again hit the IAF flight-safety record, which had dramatically improved in recent years with the crash rate coming down to around 0.27 accidents per 10,000 hours of flying.

From 1971-72 to 2003-04, IAF's consolidated average rate stood at 1.09 accidents per 10,000 hours of flying

lol, seriously given the india's tiny budget, one of the most motley blend of airframes (none of which is made domestically), world-renowned indian efficiency and corruption, the total and complete inability to make any spare parts, no wonder they are called the flying coffin by their own press...

them indians.....l1o1l1o1l1o1l1o1l1o11o1l


-------------------------------------------------

should rename to 'flying coffin air force' LOL

--

lol, no other airforce is called that by its own people....lo1l1o1l11l1

-------------------------------------------------

dam, i didn't know that.

If your people called the PLAAF what it deserved China would run out of paper to print AK-47 bullet bills on. LOL..

Go crawl up your own asses and die, you dumb chinganzees.

trust me, indians will run out of paper quicker than us.....not only do indians crash more, we have more fighters and we can make our own fighters while you can't make shiiit..... we also have more money than you....


1l1o1l1o1l1l them pathetic (but very, very hairy) indians.....l1o1l1o1l11l

-------------------------------------------------

and smelly!

yes smelly left hands......

-------------------------------------------------

actually, the whole body. type "indian smell" in google..

hhahaha just googled it and this came up ROFL


Do Indian girls smell "down there" ?

no need to give this idiot woot a new reply when i have butt fked him already.. he is here for just the sake of time pass and his stupid arguments..

no wonder why you are world renowned 13k slum apartment resident idiot!
its really a shame that you can not even comprehend simple mathematical logic.
IAF has HUGE 1,700-1,900 fleet of fixed-wing and rotary air crafts... it should be very clear that over all as a fleet they will clock more hours then a AF with smaller fleet lets say 400 even though PAF clocks more pilot hours.. the funny thing about your post was that you posted PAF link which is now over a decade old while the IAF one is no more then few hours old. lol.. nice one you sneaky dothead. its obvious that PAF main bulk of the fleet are 3.5 generation while iAF is 4-4.5 generation and still PAF has managed to maintain a higher pilot flying hours then IAF.. lol.. indians love to complain that their mig fleets are old thus they crash but they keep forgetting that PAF pilots have better record with older planes..
hope your cow dung brain can come back to its senses and realize that IAF lower crash rate ratio is due to its huge number of its fleet.


now imagine an AF with 10,000 planes... now it wont take them long to clock 10,000 hours and infact each plane will just fly (ONE) hour! less chance of crashing in 10,000 hours for 10,000 Air craft fleet.. meanwhile a smaller AF with 1,000 AC fleet will have harder time reaching 10,000 hours mark without crashing because each plane has to do 10 hours of flying meaning more chance of crashing! mean while pakistani air force clocks more hours per plane with smaller fleet thats why they may have higher crash ratio to 10,000 hours... and lol i don't even know the credibility of timesof-india.. so is IAF giving accurate ratio or they are just trying to save their butts from the public? seriously your IQ is even smaller then a pigsh1t let alone that inbred Bawgwan G. hopefully this should bring your brain back to its scenes..
our F-16 fleet have clock over 140,000 hours since the last crash lol...
and plez... no more retarded posts from you...

It takes a certain kind of mind to find a topic like this funny.

I can recommend some good third world poverty videos if you really fancy a laugh.

why is that not funny? what kind of mind would it take? you know it's WAFF. If you are feeling large today, I suggest you get off your high horse and go to Afirca or India and help out...

-------------------------------------------------

Sorry dude but that is a really dodgy source, in fact it's a blog. The information is highly exaggerated and uncredible...

typical stupid smelly uneducated hairy indians only believe what they want to believe and deny anything bad about poor india

wtf... indians still believe they r USAF or something???

Pakistan Airforce: The largest distributor of Indian airforce parts in Asia



Pathankot Strike
8 F-86Fs of No 19 Squadron led by Squadron Leader Sajjad Haider struck Pathankot airfield. With carefully positioned dives and selecting each individual aircraft in their protected pens for their strafing attacks, the strike elements completed a textbook operation against Pathankot. Wing Commander M G Tawab, flying one of the two Sabres as tied escorts overhead, counted 14 wrecks burning on the airfield. Among the aircraft destroyed on the ground were nearly all of the IAFs Soviet-supplied Mig-21s till then received, none of which were seen again during the War.
