That day isn't far when we won't have any fighter plane to fly and IAF will be a paper force...
During training, accidents do happen. We lost our pilot. I think nobody wants this to happen.

In my lifetime, this is the second mid-air collision of combat aircrafts of India. The first is in the 90s when Mig-29 collided with another mig-29 or so.
There is no end to the mystery called IAF. This is beyond shameful. I guess PAF and other air-forces must be laughing all the way.

Mumbai houses the MK3. It's the new helo.
They took the bird out, but it remains to be seen if the bird is salvageable. Although from the outside, I don't see much damage.
It was a perfect ditching. This helo will fly again.
Was this a planned manoeuvre to check for any chinks as well crew response time ? I ask for this kind of incident rarely unfolds the way it did .
I don't think so.
