even Pakistan is flying 60's era Mirages but the amount of accidents r nill as comaperd to IAF.
Diffrence is Pakistani training and Maintinence is far good then Indians.
Or may be you are keeping them in hangers & taking it out once in a while.

congratulations on the 1000th -- as of today. Great feat.
This is not correct. Most pilots fly Mig-21s before transferring to other jets.1000 aircraft or not.. the suspicious of pilot error indicates these folks were new on the types and made crucial mistakes.
Which can only point to a lack of adequate training. I suppose that makes sense.. both types are in the twilight of their career with the IAF and polishing skills on these two may not be priority for the IAF's training command.
As of yet.. I have not heard of an MKI or M2k go down.. which means the cream of the crop is being sent to these jets.
those with lower aptitudes.. end up on the Migs and Jags.. something these two crashes are testament to.

The point is the lack of infrastructure for adequate training...i.e jumping into super sonic air craft from low end training aircraft. Hope, the new hawks will make a differenc alongwith scrapping Migs.
Are you kidding me? Two MKI's have been crashed in 2009-10 , and also few mirages have been crashed since there induction , you are mis-informed in that

@Santro-Aren't most of our "low-end" jets role specific?!i.e,MiG 21-Interceptor,Jag-DPSA,MiG 27-Bomber etc.So the pilots will also be trained for these A/C right?
Will it not increase the cost of the entire training?!When they change from a MiG 21 to a 27 or a 29?
