Friends this is a third crash in a row in the month of November. we are losing our valuable pilots, which can be an asset during war time.
Friends dont you think that this is an alarming situation for Indian Government to provide latest aircrafts.
Indian Air Force has demanded new aircrafts from Government of India, in past as well, but the deals are taking more time.
