    In India, whichever the political party, no one knows, how much of corruption and scams exist in such deals putting national interest in jeopardy and risk to our IAF personnel. It is very unfortunate, India has lost near about 200 pilots in MIG-21 crashes.

    It is high time we withdraw all MIG 21 from our forces and replace it with another competent aircraft. It has taken several precious life of our fighting pilots. Wing Commander Abhinandan fortunately survived from MIG 21.
