    In all probability, the jet crashed and the Pilot/WSO are dead. Stop making insensitive statements like" pilot bechke aya " and "crossed the border to china" and Pray the the crew are safe. They are our soldiers who keep us safe, don't forget that.

    How much a SU30 costs?
    How much it costs to prepare a pilot?
    I think it must have crossed the border to China.
    IAF should train them well.
