This is terrible. Any Russian type left that has not crashed this month?

Since you are so quick to pass judgements what do you say about PAF's higher attrition rate since 2006.
don't know why some fools blame everytime russia
as if c130 never crashed
and these aircraft are merely 20 year old
Let’s just say that last few weeks were really bad for the IAF and this bad luck is still not gone and wait for the investigations. Both Indian and Pakistani planes are really old and both air forces are looking to replace or upgrade them in next decade
to asina defence
its due to bad whether specially when area is hilly
when first 2 an32 was coming from soviet union to india and in their last leg of flight form oman to jamnagar they disappeard suddenly???
due to bad whether
india has plane to upgrade thses and going to make IL214 with russia
Well if u were from Arunachal you would have known the terrain in a better way and would get to know the problem pilot faces there.
And regarding russian's technical failure I think its very immature to blame someone so instantly. Because in the recent report put forward by russian and indian experts with regard to the Sukoi crash, it came out that it was pilot's fault which led to the crash.
