Is Indian AirForce Hiding Its Attrition ?

[CombatCorner]

Came across this August 2022 Tweet by Shiv Aroor, praising the efforts of an IAF pilot in rescuing his colleague from a crashed and burning Jaguar aircraft in November 2021. Ironically there's no mention of this incident in IAF's attrition list for that year. The Indian media also reported 11 various crashes for that year, including 5 MiG-21s and a Mirage 2000, but no mention of the subject Jaguar crash. !!

India hides lot of things. Pretty same as we do but many in India live in a false bubble and assume their Armed Forces tell everything

 

[Oscar]

Perhaps the nature of the incident they decided to not disclose it as it was on an airfield but kudos to the Flt Lt - that really was going beyond his duty.

Fail.
How is it hiding when it was literally mentioned in the official Indian Government's national website press release
If the intention was indeed to hide a crash, why give such detailed account of the crash? The aircraft was probably repaired and put back into service. Total nonsense from a person who learnt about this incident only because IAF published it. Typical Instagrammer quality, never disappoints.

Epic fail is the term associated with you
I don't usually debate with idiots who survive under false ID.
Yea sure, an old aircraft that crashed inverted and was on fire was surely repaired . Somehow the Apache which apparently crash landed makes it in the list but not the Jaguar happened beyond preying eyes or maybe how the crash actually happened . Have they already concluded that the Apache is non repairable thus included it in the list.

India is not run by the army
Nothing is hidden

Accidents will happen
You do realise India has over 2000 planes and helicopters and military aircraft accessories cross mountain peaks deserts jungles in snow heat rainy season windy season Monsoons

Accidents happen in the 4th largest air force in the world

Again Fail.
Bharat Rakshak is website ran by a bunch of civilian enthusiasts and not an official entity. They may have simply forgot to include that accident.

Yea, accidents happen all over the world and I'm sure it's not the civilians who paint Indian jets with Pakistani flag and display them as war trophies.
Try harder next time.

Yea, media forgot to report it BR also missed it but Tejas Spokesman is giving a briefing.
BR attrition list dates back to 30s ... I doubt there civilian sources back then listing everything.
Even the story of 4 Jaguars sent off on a showboating sortie for media and personalities was changed after two of them failed to return .

True story? U got any source?

 

[YourDaddy]

Unlike our neighbors In india civilians are not completely useless. Also the data is not that difficult to find if you are serious about your work.

Or maybe it's just a more common occurrence in India

 

[Be dazzled]

They even crashed the Apache?
