India faced first Sukhoi crash

This is the first time in the history of Sukhoi air crafts in Indian air force (IAF) that it’s most lethal aircraft Sukhoi MKI (Made for India version of original MK) got crashed. It was a shock for many of us who put trust and belief in the mantle of Sukhoi aircrafts and Indian pilots.

There has been long list of fighter aircraft crashes ranging from MIG21, MIG25, and MIG29 to British Jaguar to MIRAGE 2000 and now Sukhoi MKI.
Previously the major cause for crashes was poor supply of spare parts after USSR disunion, but most of the time it was human error.

Indian air force is one of the finest air forces in the world because it has variety of aircraft which are designed and developed for different conditions and it’s a tough job to be a fighter pilot in such an air force.

But because of lack of air crafts much needed for training, pilots are forced to be trained directly on such lethal aircraft like MIG21 in their initial phases of training.

After the hawk aircraft deal with British aircraft company BAE (British Aerospace) it was supposed that pilots would be better trained and these crashes would stop.
But after Sukhoi case it seems that it will take more time to avoid such aircraft crashes.

For the youth in India who have passion and dreams with the aircraft, this one is nightmare.

All we can wish that their will be no more crashes and more genuine efforts will be made in this direction.
