Indienii sint prin traditie ciuca bataii de joc cand vine vorba de aviatia militara. De la achizitiile suspectate de coruptie, industrializarea inepta si pregatirea dubioasa a pilotilor, totul pare sa explice sirul nesfarsit de accidente ale IAF. Si asta indiferent de tipul aparatelor desi, ca o parafraza: daca MiG-uri au, MiG-uri se prabusesc. Indienii incearca sa se disculpe timid prin niste rapoarte parca facute de o echipa de cercetatori britanci – probabil ca asa si e:
“Serviceability of MiG-29K was low, ranging from 15.93 per cent to 37.63 per cent and that of MiG-29KUB ranging from 21.30 per cent to 47.14 per cent.
Audit observed (December 2014) that as of September 2014, a total of 65 engines (42 with 21 aircraft and 23 spares) had been accepted. However, since induction in February 2010, 40 engines (representing 62 per cent of 65 engines) had been withdrawn from service/rejected due to design-related defects/deficiencies. The issue had serious flight safety implications, since in-flight engine defects had led to ten cases of single engine landings.
