It seems almost in sync that over the last few years our Air Force preparedness, if I can call it that- be it number of squadrons or introduction of new craft or flight safety- has been give one massive blow after another.

It has to be Incompetence or inability, because I cannot call it bad luck.

Seems like the IAF's maintenance structure needs an overhaul.

The AN-32 crash could have been worse than the Jaguar.

The fighter had ejection seats at least...

Thank heavens no loss of life.

The families would have gone through hell...

Two plane crashes on the same day!!!
The status of IAF is beyond pathatic (who is to blame! the whole echo system)
feel for the poilets who have to fly them, and the nation for being put in such a horrible situation.

VinodTK. Take a look at the total IAF number of crashes since 2000.
Glad air crew is safe.
