It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
I was at Air Force Station Ambala from 1962 to 1965 Baldev Nagar on the west of the airfield always created bird problem for flying At times flying was suspended due heavy bird activity Decades have passed situation has not improved around Ambala
My father was the Station Technical Officer of Ambala Airbase from 1969- 1973. Even at that time bird hits were a problem. The IAF tried their best to educate the local population how to discard food waste. Our people have never bothered. They still throw the food waste in the open. God help this country.
What about drone detection radars? Did not see that so far in news. After Saudi oil refinery and recent arms drop in Punjab with drones, IAF needs to atleast open eyes and procure systems that can shoot down drones.
