A day before Mirage 2000 crash in Bengaluru, IAF chief B.S. Dhanoa had hit out at HAL for blaming it for delays. Former officers agree with chief’s assessment.
While IAF has ordered a probe, there are indications that the aircraft did not take off, forcing pilots to eject. The black box holds key to investigation.
Flight testing crew are a national resource and trying to exact mileage out of the accident, replaying the Modi-RaGa-Rafale scam-mongering, will be a disservice to the pilots who died in the crash.
According to government reply in Lok Sabha, the pilot phase of PMIS is being used to test concepts, strategies and systems before a full-scale implementation of the scheme.
Order for 87 MALE drones will be split between 2 Indian firms in 64:36 ratio to ensure there are 2 independent manufacturing lines with at least 60% indigenous components.
The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
Sonia led UPA Government had deliberately broken the Backbone as well as Work Culture of HAL, neither they purchased a single Rafale during long 10 years Regime,to weaken our Defence System.
AF should now file an FIR against the person who was responsible for maintaining the barrier, drag that chap to court …. Put pressure on govt to dismiss the civ who is overall responsible. As that is MOD spend so much in court case. Please stop self pity, we have to stand against these civ in HAL.
The Air Force should train army doctors in iridology, that is iris reading. The iridology can predict death or near death. All such aircraft personnel in the danger zone shouldn’t be flying sorties and should be given ground duty. As it is the Mirage is dubbed the Widows plane. How many sir force personnel should sacrifice their life before MOD scraps the plane. As a citizen of India i am incensed and deeply troubled by these deaths.
Sad to hear such a unwary comment with both the facts incorrect. Firstly, you possibly can’t scan the iris of a pilot and find out about the fear of death without him experiencing the near death situation. No one can predict or even simulate that situation. But yes, a pilot may be tested for his emergency handling skills under pressure and may be graded accordingly.
Secondly, you seem to be confused with the aircraft supposedly known to be a “widow maker”, that’s MiG-21 and definitely not Mirage 2000. If IAF stops flying aircraft of Mirage 2000 calibre then probably they will have to phase out their 3/4th of the fighter fleet. So please get your facts correct before commenting on such sensitive topic.
