These days I am seeing that Indian members are running low on morale after recent frequent crashes of IAF, and after recent C-130J crash, people have gone berserk trying to defame IAF how it is the most unprofessional air force of the world, and how our pilots are total noobs. :tsk:
So I did a little research on the crash rates of IAF and some other air forces and calculated crash rates of different planes they operate.
At first I also thought that crash rates of IAF are worst in the world seeing all the media rant going on...but after calculating crash rates of other air forces.....I got different result. :thumb:
I calculated the crash rate of the plane by this formula - Rate = 10000*(No. Crashed)/((Total Plane)*square(Time in Service(in years)))
Reason:-
No. Crashed/Total Plane is reasonable. crash probability of a plane increases by square of time it is in service. multiplication by 10000 is to cancel the exponential term.
Now, Crash Rates of Different Air forces and their Planes -
1. Indian Air Force:-
Su 30 MKI - 1.05
Mig 21 - 1.74 (Not too bad considering they are more than 50 yrs in service)
Mig 29 - 1.98 (Cannot explain this)
Mirage 2000 - 0.4 (quite low(western maal?))
An - 32(transport) - 0.7
2. Pakistani Air Force :-
JF-17 - 4.7 (Oops!)
F-16 - 1.4 (Not so good as people think)
Dassault Mirage III - 0.3
Dassault Mirage V - 0.2
F-7 - 0.7
C-130(transport) - 1.3
3. US Air Force :-
F-15 - 0.4(Expected)
F-22 - 4.0 (Quite high)
F-16 - ? (Cannot get exact data)
4. French Air Force :-
Dassault Rafale - 2.9 (Why?)
5. Royal Australian Air Force -
F/A- 18 Hornet - 0.4
6. Spanish Air Force
Eurofighter Typhoon - 1.2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note:- This list is incomplete, most of leading air forces like Russian AF and PLAAF crash records are not actively available anywhere.
If you can get correct data, calculate crash rate by the above mentioned formula and post it.
