Tried calculating crash percentage of aircraft in the data. Few minor corrections though, i.e., there are 5 JF-17 hull losses not 7 and there are 4 known incidents with J-15 but 3 suffered hull losses. One crash landed. I don't know its fate so discounted it from the calculation.

* Crash percentage of JF-17 is +2% compared to Tejas' +5%

* It also seems India accounts for +40% of MiG-21 crashes globally

* Didn't find reliable data on Jaguar crashes - didn't really look, TBH - but based on conservative estimation India accounts for +33% of Jaguar losses globally.

* Disclaimer: Will not claim following table completely reliable.

although there is no way tejas is sold to Armenia , because of the GE engines . countries that us will allow the sale of that fighter jet to will/can buy better jets than tejas . one of the biggest mistakes was choosing American engine should have gone with Russian ones , i don't see tejas being exported at all

in the clip, look at the "col Fasih Ahmed" trying to lickup the hindutva and trying to prove his great loyalty to them, seems more angered than the others in the program.....typical indian muslim. Has a great hatred for Pakistan.

LOL

How do you know he is "Colonel Fasih Ahmed " ? Masquerading as Muslim officers is a standard propaganda technique in the Indian electronic media.
There was however a secular era in BOTH Pakistan and India when officers joined their armed forces irrespective of religion.

Pakistan had Parsi and Christian officers, and today in addition to Parsis and Christians has Sikh officers in the Navy and Army, There is least one Hindu pilot in the Pakistani Air Force.

From the mid 1950s to the early 1980s Indian Muslims joined the Indian Armed forces as officers, mostly in the Air Force and Navy. Indian Muslims joined the Indian Army mostly in the technical cadre and medical corps. The Indian Defence Ministry directives do not permit recruitment of Muslims in the combat regiments at the private (jawan), NCO level. The technical non-combat wings such as Electrical Mechanical Engineers may have some lower level Muslim technicians. The legacy "Muslim" regiments inherited from the Pre-Independence Royal Indian Army like the J&K Light Infantry, The Deccan Lancers, have been purged of Muslim soldiers. Even the composite secular 10th Guards no longer have Muslim soldiers, The secular era in India is over.

Aircraft	Country	No. Produced	No. Crashed	Percentage of Crash	India %
F-35	USA	1255	12	0.96	-​
F-22	USA	195	5	2.56	-​
F-16	USA	4604	670	14.55	-​
MIG-21	SOVIET UNION	11496	1200	10.44	40.17​
J-15	PRC	76	3	3.95	-​
RAFALE	FRANCE	300	4	1.33	-​
TYPHOON	EUROPE	616	24	3.90	-​
JAGUAR	UK	573	42	7.33	33.33​
JF-17	PAKISTAN/PRC	186	5	2.69	-​
TEJAS	INDIA	37	2	5.41	5.41​

But Indians counted 300+ crashes for j 15 out of the 76 total produced.

Yup. Probably Gen. Bakshi gave the number.

It is more than that, and you can then say the Indian media in general is discredited


However, there comes a point where on some incidents you have to draw the line, because sometimes mud can stick.


I mean they are doing a good job of discrediting themselves, but for some things I don't see why they should be silence, not on official response, but just to point made somehow in some way that this is ridiculous

The Tejas, with its American engine, really only has appeal within India, and a limited number of potential export customers. Indian social media will discredit this jet, as too little too late, where Indian mainstream media would dare not comment.

On social media this jet, and the hubris it signifies, are taking their lickings.

On a side note, switching from HAL babus to a private defense contractors is not as likely to solve the problems India faces in defense manufacturing. Adani and Tata, two major industrialists, who make defense products, probably also make products on a profit first basis, leaving much to be desired. Their foreign “acquaintances” being more influential than the technical skills of their manufacturing divisions. I won’t surprise anyone that both Ambani and Tata (the local partner to manufacture the Rafale in India) names show up in the Epstein emails. Indian oligarchs will be brought in as the saviors for what ails HAL, but will just open a new chapter of disappointed, unless they are secretly just importing, and calling it made in India.

It's tough being both an Air Force officer pilot, as well as a spouse of an Air Force officer pilot.
Protocol demands that all officers be in full formal uniform during the last rites ceremonies of fellow officers and give a last salute.

The curious part is why THIS last rites ceremony is being so intensely covered. At least two Indian Air Force officers have died during Jaguar crashes earlier this year and they remain anonymous.
A stark difference between India and Pakistan. We respect the privacy of those bereaved, and don't broadcast their tears, and the media coverage of the last rites ceremonies is brief and low key. The last thing the families of the martyrs need is the glare of media coverage and raucous commentary.

That said : Rest in Peace Wing Commander Namansh Syal

This is a great explanation of what may have gone wrong during the ill fated display.
I initially thought the guy was just executing a simple half aerilon turn so what is this talk about pulling negative g (as @Raider 21 had rightly pointed out). But turns out this was a very difficult and risky maneuver.

Tejas’s reputation took a hit after its crash at the Dubai Airshow, while Pakistan used the event to announce a provisional export deal for its JF-17 Block III.

The jet was showcased with PL-15E missiles as Pakistan promoted the JF-17 as “battle-tested,” citing its role in the recent India–Pakistan aerial clash.

The contrast was striking with India’s more cautious employment of Tejas, which was absent from that conflict and from this year’s Republic Day flypast due to safety concerns.

Comparing this garbage with likes of Viper and F35 and JF17 is a joke only an uninformed Indian can come up with. BS this jet is garbage, been stuck in development for decades. Stop killing your pilots.

It is real. There are enough other photos from different news sources of the same event.
