As many as 157 Indian Air Force pilots and 35 civilians have been killed by the MiGs since 1971, to a cost of some $385 million. A series of crashes continue to dog the world's most built jet aircraft, which until recently was also the backbone of Indian Air Force's supersonic jet fleet
. . .
Defense Minister Pranab Mukherjee said Thursday.
"The IAF is in the process of phasing out the MiG-21, MiG-23 and MiG-25 fighter aircraft depending on the calendar life/total technical life of the aircraft," the minister told parliament.
"These aircraft will be phased out from service between 2006 and 2017."
