IAF decides to ground the entire fleet of Mig-21s until Rajasthan crash is probed | Oneindia News

The Indian Air Force has decided to ground the entire fleet of its Mig 21s as as the investigations into the May 8 crash are still underway and the reason behind the crash is being probed.

3 civilians were killed after the wreckage of a MiG-21 fighter jet fell on a house on May 8 in Rajasthan while the pilot ejected safely, sustaining minor injuries.

Air Force officials say that the grounding is a routine procedure that is undertaken after any such tragic incidents…and that the fleets would be back in action after the checks are done.

The IAF has already constituted a Court of Inquiry to ascertain the cause of Rajasthan accident.

Mig stands for Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau of the erstwhile Soviet Union and it is a supersonic fighter jet.

Since its initial induction in 1963, India has inducted over 900 MiG-21s.

Up until the first half of 2022, the IAF operated four squadrons of MiG-21 Bison fighters, each squadron comprising around 16 to 18 aircraft.

This made the total strength of MiG-21 Bisons between 64 and 72.

But on 30th September last year, the Indian Air Force retired the No.

51 ‘swordarms’ MiG-21 fighter Squadron based in Srinagar.

In a bold move, India has fiercely criticized China’s state-run media, Global Times, for spreading disinformation regarding the Indian Air Force’s Operation Sindoor. The Indian Embassy in Beijing called out the media outlet for using outdated images of IAF crashes to mislead the public, claiming they were from the May 7 strikes. India’s fact-checking agencies promptly debunked these visuals as doctored propaganda. #GlobalTimes #China #IndiaChina #IndiaChinaNews #IndiaChinaStandoff #ChineseMediaOnIndia #GlobalTimesOnIndia #IndiaChinaConflict #IndianArmy #IndiaVsChina #IndiaNews #IndiaChinaWar #OperationSindoor #OperationSindoorIndia #IndiaPakistanTensions Also Read PL-15 vs Meteor: Does China’s Missile Really Give Pakistan An Edge Over India’s Rafales?
