Islamabad: After the deadly tension between Pakistan and India, after the PahlgaTac, once again led the war-launch in the neighboring country, which is making the heads of New Delhi in the news, Reports Informed on Sunday.
Due to the history of Pakistan-India clashes, IAF has once again become a point of discussion, especially to capture Pilot Abhinandan Varteman of an IAF MIG-21 and to capture Pilot Abhinandan Varteman.
According to the IAF, data, 2,374 aircraft were lost in accidents by September 2023, including 1,126 fighter jets and 1,248 non-fighter aircraft. In addition, 229 trainers and 196 helicopters have crashed. As a result of these incidents, 1,305 skilled pilots have died.
The figures are shared by official Indian media sources. Indian experts have publicly stated that the most worrying decrease in India’s defense preparations is in the fleet of IAF fighter aircraft.
The number of fighter aircraft exceeds 50 squadron. Some of these aircraft pilots were taken action in the wars fought in the war in the war against Pakistan in 1947–1948, 1965 and 1971 and to some extent in the Kargil struggle in 1999.
In the 1962 war against China, IAF did not operate the match. In the 1965 Battle, it lost 59 aircraft on the ground during pre-Khali attacks by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) in Pathankot and Kalikunda, which came out as a failure of Indian intelligence and preparation. In the 1965 war, its own history of IAF’s own history faces “unevenly high loss” than PAF.
A reduced factor in 1965 was that the IAF vintage aircraft was flying, while PAF had the most advanced American fighters in Asia. Overall, in all IAF losses, only 143 aircraft – or one of the eight aircraft were overthrown and overall the casualties.
IAF by the Public Accounts Committee, an audit report in the name of aircraft accidents in 2002 concluded that the IAF accident rate for a 10,000-hour flight “between 0.89 and 1.52 during the period of 1991-97”; For fighters it was “between 1.89 and 3.53”; For MiG -21 variants while it was “between 2.29 and 3.99”.
In comparison, the fighter aircraft accident rate in the US Air Force was 0.29 in the 1990s, 0.15 in the 2000s, and 0.1 between 2010 and 2018. In 1982, a debate in Parliament showed anxiety that the IAF had lost almost several aircraft in the last two years as the entire 1971 war.
Since then many committees have investigated the issue from time to time. Three causes of accidents were widely identified: human error, technical defects and nature, including hostile weather and bird hit.
Technical defects included poor maintenance and non-availability of spare parts, especially for MiG variants after the collapse of the Soviet Union. But he also reflected the untouchability that essentially grows from aircraft flying like decades -old MiG -21, already being ridiculed as “Flying Coffins” and “Widow Makers”. Even in those years, it was clear that about half IAF accidents could think for human error.
Reports indicated laps in basic training and indicated frequent failures to upgrade the HPT -32 Stage -1 trainer aircraft, on which IAF pilots learned ABC of Flying. In the 1980s and 1990s, a dangerous number of trainer aircraft accidents was recorded, with both the trainers and trainee pilots resulting in high ambush. IAF grounded HPT-32 only after 19 pilots were killed in 17 flight accidents in 23 years.
