    An upgrade programme is expected to keep the MiG-27 operational for another 10 years.
    And i strongly believe that media is creating hype, in a negative manner... These aircrafts are backbone of Indian Air Force...

    the most costly loss in an air-force crash is not the air-plane, but the pilot; i am happy that, at least, he survived.

    Will there be an investigation as to the root cause of yet another MIG crash? Was it due to poor maintenance, cheap spare parts , inadequate piloting skills or was it just a random accident? Has IAF/ govt carried out crash investigations on the previous crashes? If so, what are the results? The public have a right to know as it is there money.

The Battle of Longewala

After drifting for approximately thousand kilometers from Alwar, I have reached Longewala. This place romanticizes me allot. The battle of Longewala a legend in itself. It is located at 120 kms from city of Jaisalmer. Only way to reach this place is boulevard and if you are tourist then you have to hire a cab. Longewala is prevalent because of the illustrious skirmish tussled between India and Pakistan in 1971. The clash of Longewala is all about how hundred odd men clogged and overwhelmed approximately 2000 Pakistani legionnaires. This battle was all about the audacity, impetus, chauvinism and drive to prizefight exhibited by those eighty Indian warriors.
