It happens. The pilot ejected well.

control system failure reported

I hope the arrows will not be transferred to the country of the manufacturer? And it happens that they try to cover up their shortcomings (negligence, violation of the service regulations, etc.) with claims to the aircraft, especially when it is politically advantageous.

Be sure to become. And first of all.

With the Indians you need to keep your eyes open. Indians sin by buying up left parts and accessories from around the world.

[TermNachTer]

With such a decline in technology, the issue of rearmament is becoming a priority. And the fashionable, French "raphal" will not help here - a very expensive tsyatska.

[Semen Semyonitch]

The main pilot is alive ... But the fighter is sorry. It's time to switch to the MiG-35 ...

[abrakadabre]

It's time to switch to the MiG-35 ...

Rather, it’s time for them to stop dancing around the plane and begin to comply with the service regulations.

[Semen Semyonitch]

I am in the know ... Just my desire to choose a MiG. I am very worried about this KB.

[starshina]

And the MIG that recently fell into the Black Sea is India to blame for this too?

It's time to switch to the MiG-35 ..

If their MiG-29s are qualitatively repaired and modernized, then they can still be flown for 20 years. But if they are repaired in a village forge by crooked hands ...

[V.I.P.]

And in Russia, where are airplanes and helicopters being repaired? Why are they falling? Is the same Indians to blame? ..... Look at the statistics of losses of the military aviation of the Russian Federation, this is not taking into account civilian aircraft ....

Take a look. But not stupidly and emotionally, reading the messages of "Internet experts", but relying on the investigation of the causes of LP and conclusions.

[V.I.P.]

And you can write about poor service in India without investigation ?? The moment only fell, and allegedly technicians from India are already to blame)))

[EvilLion]

Because in Russia they DO NOT fall https://topwar.ru/166713-pochemu-samolety-v-rossii-ne-padajut.html Enlighten, statistician.

Do not fall only where they do not fly.

repair in the village forge with crooked hands ...

In which forge assembled the first production Su-57, which crashed with the same diagnosis - a failure of the control system? Before blaming the Indians, can you first get to the bottom of the problem? Hindus (and not only them) could never get a normal supply of spare parts from the USSR and the Russian Federation. Dates have always been broken. Troublesome, not very profitable, yes, and where will they go, if you’ve already bought it? So far, restrictions have been applied to India - this has passed. Today in the Indian market, there are the USA, France, Israel, and South Korea ... There are plenty to choose from. And there is nothing to be offended by the Indians when they chose Rafali Migu, Israeli avionics, Russian, Apaches considered Mi better than Korean Biho better than Shell ... And this is just the beginning. We want to succeed in the arms trade market; we need to change our attitude towards potential buyers. And they will reach us!

If you have penetrated enough, then please bring the conclusions of the commission investigating the causes of this flight accident to everyone here. What exactly was the refusal? What does that flight have been TESTING, and not ordinary in the combat unit. And tests are carried out in order to identify and eliminate all the jambs and so that combatant pilots then have less problems.

[shahor]

The failure, according to the domestic media, is one and the same - the failure of the management system. Too streamlined? I agree. Therefore, I believe that in both cases there is no need to joke on stupid Indians and bad Su. After all, we don’t know the details, right?

[Vlad7600]

But this is at the very point !!!

[Adimius38]

that's right, to sell the plane and not provide him with the proper after-sale service is the one who so wants to buy. Therefore, why blame the Indians when they buy equipment from other countries and get a full service package for servicing purchased aircraft. Nobody wants to buy a Mig-35, so that later they will face a lot of problems after the sale service.

[starshina]

Or maybe this is a problem for Russia with maintenance?

[V.I.P.]

They have many complaints about the Mig. 35 are unlikely to buy. Perhaps F-16 (21) will buy. The Americans offer them a well-tuned version

[Prisoner]

Don’t give them anything, everything’s not for good. The culture of exploitation is dancing like in Indian films. In the sense of a mess.

And what is the hunchback version in the picture? The MiG-29CMT was not delivered to the Indians. This is a carabel, or an upgrade for the Indians leads to the installation of additional. tank on the back?

[Lozovik]

Yes, an overhead tank and a fueling rod are installed. At the same time, the fuel, hydraulic and pneumatic systems are being finalized. The automatic control system is being finalized to SAU-451-05.

Their operation is at the level of cleaning bananas, therefore they drop the equipment

[senima56]

Thank God the pilot is alive. And the Indians will again say that "Russian military equipment is bad"!

[starshina]

And in Russia, why MIGI fall? There may be a problem with assembly and maintenance ...

[V.I.P.]

In Russia, not only the MiGs are falling. But also Su 25 (10 pieces from 2000 to 2020), Ka-52, Mi-28, MI-8, Mi-35, Mi-24, Su-27, Su30, Su-34, Tu-22m3, Su-33 . An-26 ... The reasons are different, but the cars are lost and many people died ..

When planes and helicopters fall, in countries it is called an emergency .. And India is already statistics

[bobba94]

Statistics. I read a statistical report a year ago on the Internet on the topic of non-combat losses of aviation of the countries of the world and the following figures struck me: in 82 years, starting in 1932 (the year the Indian Air Force was formed), non-combat losses of the Indian Air Force amounted to 1707 aircraft. .

Since 1932 (the year the Indian Air Force was formed), the non-combat losses of the Indian Air Force amounted to 1707 aircraft. I can’t even believe it.

Let me give you one simple example .. starting in 1963, India received a total of 946 MiG-21s ..
476 airplanes were lost only on catastrophes .. So believe
