IAF grounds MiG-21 Fighter Jets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the past 50 years, the Indian Air Force has included various MiG-21 aircraft versions, which are now close to being phased out. They claimed that by the beginning of 2025, all three of the Indian Air Force MiG-21 squadrons\u2014which are the only ones still in operation\u2014would be decommissioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fighter jet that fell over Rajasthan was involved in an accident while out for a normal training mission. After the pilot’s mild injuries, an investigation was started to determine the precise reason for the crash. Three MiG-21 Bison variant squadrons are among the IAF’s 31 combat aircraft squadrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

800 different versions of the MIG-21 fighter have been in service since it was first introduced to the IAF in the 1960s. In recent years, the MiG-21’s crash rate has drawn attention because so many aircraft have been involved in mishaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
