“Perhaps there was a collision”: Su-30 and Mirage 2000 fighters crashed in India

In the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, located in the central part of the state, two fighters of the country's Air Force, the Su-30 and Mirage 2000, previously purchased from Russia and France, respectively, crashed early this morning.

There may have been a collision, but there is no official confirmation of this yet

- noted in the publication Indian Express.



Both aircraft took off from the Gwalior air base, where military exercises were being conducted. According to the Ministry of Defense, as a result of the incident, two Su-30 pilots ejected and received minor injuries, the third died (from a single-seat Mirage 2000).

In India, accidents and disasters related to the military equipment of the Air Force regularly occur. In its latest report on this issue, made in December 2021, the government told Parliament that seven aircraft of the country's air force had crashed over the past two years.

The high accident rate is associated with inadequate maintenance of the combat aviation. Insufficient funding for repairs leads to untimely delivery of spare parts (most of which are purchased abroad, from manufacturers of aircraft operated in India), but many aircraft continue to perform combat missions with faulty units.

      Our catapults are the best. Many pilots have been rescued in seemingly unbelievable hopeless situations. 8.06.1989/2/29, XNUMX seconds before the MIG-XNUMX crash in Le Bourget, pilot Anatoly Kvochur ejected. The parachute did not have time to open properly at low altitude, as a result, Kvochur received a bruise under his eye and a bruise in his stomach. A week later he continued flying.

      Both aircraft took off from the Gwalior air base, where military exercises were being conducted.

      I suspect that there was pointing one at the other (PPS, ZPS), possibly in conditions of limited visibility.

        Considering their arrogance, they took each other weakly, who and which car is cooler. The ending is clear.

    Here it is - the desire is inexpensive and more! Always spinning around at the checkout, choosing what to buy. They collected a compote of equipment, the technicians hang themselves. They would have switched to our armament long ago - and they would not have known grief, and we could have trained specialists. And then they will spend the tree, 360 kg per body ...

      Already moved and complained. Su-30MKI is getting tired of Pakistani J-10C and JF-17 block 3.

        Believe in Hindus, do not respect yourself. They regularly drop fighters due to their very poor service, but here they clearly collided. Well, nothing, they now have a lot of money, they have cashed in on the resale of our oil, let them buy new ones.

    What is the reason for poor service? In the absence of professionalism or in the mentality of the Indians? Rather, in the latter - at random and through the sleeve. And our ejection seats once again proved their superiority and reliability.

      Common negligence. Specialists somehow flew there from the Mil Design Bureau on their own business, so for the Mi-17 it was developed by ours for the conditions of India with their aggressive environment, a composition was prescribed that needed to be periodically washed dviglo, that I was not special, and so they were surprised how the cars still they fly, because of course the Indians immediately scored it safely.

    Where are the other two? There were five in total. Two plus two on the Su-30 and one on the Guard. One died. Two ejected. Where are the other two?

      two Russian Air Force fighters - Su-30 and Mirage 2000

      A dash is a punctuation mark according to the rules of the Russian language.
      The dash is followed by an enumeration TWO fighters - SU-30 and Mirage.
