Unfortunately, Meet Kumar died in a Mig 21 plane crash on 18th July 2018. Salute to the flying warrior. 😔
Very sad. I don't know what to say after watching this video. When will we retire these vintage aircrafts.
Mayank Dubey years of neglect are now taking their toll. Mig 21 is a fine plane but without maintenance and repair and replacement of spare parts even a F22 will fail. We have lost so many pilot's. But still we can't just remove these planes as our nos will then critically drop. Sanctioned strength for the air force is 45 squadrons and currently we are down to only 31 squadrons. 45 are minimal required for both Pakistan and Chinese aggression. If we remove Mig 21 and Mig 27 the squadrons will drop to 21 which is alarmingly low, till replacement comes these will carry on. Best option would be to ramp up nos for Sukhoi 30 and even Mig 29. Present government is doing it's best. Funds are also an issue. But clearly lot more needs to be done. Meet had extreme confidene and a strong bond with his Mig 21 unfortunately the same plane took its life. Mig 21 is a 3rd generation plane and though it's been through tremendous upgrades it's still a very demanding plane.
Cyrus Loves India The pattern keeps repeating itself 😣. Sadly, what you said about our operational squadron strength falling drastically short is also true. We can never let our strength fall that low without finding replacements on time. What about the LCA? When will it be inducted in full numbers like No. 45 Sqn already has? Are we going for the Mk2 version directly or is that still long ways away?
What do you think about buying F-16s to meet the demand, independent of the MMRCA contract? It is also a single engine, light, highly reliable and proven airframe with modern radar, avionics and weapons systems.
I know there are a lot of practical challenges involved, but as a stop-gap solution at least, could it work? We can then sell/lease out our airframes to other friendly countries after the situation is under control. Sounds like a doable idea at least?
Also, the west German Air force (post WW2 Luftwaffe) also had the same problem with their then new F-104 starfighters. Many young pilots perished on training missions. They then reined it in, would be interesting to note how they solved their problem.
The IAF rolled out a tender for 126 MMRCA in 2007 its more than a decade now but only 36 Rafale have been ordered. These aircrafts are so expensive that it will slow down our Government's development agenda . Now they are planning for MMRCA 2 with the same aircrafts in fray as some media report suggests . So much delay
Red tap-ism and bureaucracy are killing our armed forces preparedness. We should as an immediate step increase nos of Mig 29 and Su30mki and Tejas should now be the replacement for Mig 21. Many black sheep in our establishment dont want Tejas to succeed as it lessens their chances of kickbacks. Present government hopefully will not let Tejas wither away. Navy and air force both should induct Tejas in huge nos. Sceptical abt the F16 as its now a 40 year old plane and a completely different platforms to our Russian weapons.
RIP Meet Kumar one of the greatest pilots of the Indian Air Force. We will grieve this loss to your family and the nation.
With all due respect to this legend, it should be sent to museums
@Surya or maybe sold to civilians. They would pay a good price for it and it actually fly it.
@Shukriyadhan the mig 21 had flares. I'm unsure that if these had. As far I know the Bis variant did. About the mid air refueling : this aircraft is so focused on speed that considering it has to travel slow cargo fuel plane speeds to refuel it would make it really unstable to controll it.
@Shukriyadhan FYI Mig21 "flying coffin" has a better saftey record than F16s, F104s etc.
@Shukriyadhan and you expect modern features in an aircraft made in 1960s, what a loser.
RIP Squadron leader Meet Kumar...we salute you.
Nothing but respect for this brave pilot!
Calling mig 21 invincible now a days sounds like calling a cockroach a bird
Prithvi Raj it's retiring now
Prithvi Raj and he died today💐💐
Not really
@@death_parade Please provide proof of that headlines being used in indian Media .. Even abhi nandan said that he has not shot down any air craft... why we people lie...
@@death_parade lol.PAF used Jf-17s..in that misson...f-16s were in standby.
Mig 21 have a flaw due to the poor placement of the internal fuel tanks ahead of the centre of gravity. As the internal fuel was consumed, the center of gravity would shift rearward beyond acceptable parameters. This had the effect of making the plane statically unstable to the point of being difficult to control, resulting in an endurance of only 45 minutes in clean condition. This can be somewhat countered by carrying fuel in external tanks closer to the center of gravity.
Due to relationship sour during the 1960s, the Russian didn't give China all the technical data, forcing the Chinese to reverse engineer the Mig21. In the reverse engineering process, they discovered the fatal flaw and fixed the design.
The Chinese Mig 21 variants (J-7/F-7) improved the internal fuel tank layout and also carry significantly larger external fuel tanks to counter this issue. Additionally, when more than half the fuel was used up, violent maneuvers prevented fuel from flowing into the engine, thereby causing it to shut down in flight. This increased the risk of tank implosions (MiG-21 had tanks pressurized with air from the engine's compressor), a problem inherited from the MiG-15, MiG-17 and MiG-19.
If HAL didn't fix the flaw, the accident rates will be high.
Sources?
This is true! You are a genius bro
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Muh ka baat chin liya aapne toh...
Isn't that easily fixed by adding some weight towards the front? Heavier equipment, or even some dead weight woukd do. The drawback would be marginal... I also don't understand how the shifting of CoG backwards leads to crashes.
RIP Meet Kumar. The one that you loved the most disappointed you. Hope you find peace.
Using Mig-21 is a joke in today's fighter aircraft standards but unfortunately there are no new aircrafts to replace these vintage birds
@PakMan There are corrupt Defence officials too who love to make overseas trips and get kickbacks. Thats why India is still among top arms importers . Forget Advanced tech - winter clothing, rifles, speedboats, armed personell carriers all imported , 99% of avionics and electronic goods are all imports. and they want to become 'permanent' member of UNSC without local Defence manufacturing and R&D capacity!
These Mig-21’s have upgraded avionics, and are upgraded to modern standerds
Govt recently bought Rafales
Rest in peace sir , your contribution to the country is unreturnable.

Very sad to know that Squadron Leader Meet Kumar died yesterday on 18th July 2018 in a crash at Fatehpur Kangra H.P. He flew his plane from Pathankot Airbase. Salute to this brave warrior. May his soul rest in peace. When will we retire these aircrafts.
RIP Squadron Leader Meet Kumar...You will be remembered always...
Always!
When you fly this aircraft you feel none other than God... That's true. You'll be gifted an opportunity to meet him in person
LMAOO
I think it is like feeling for them, as for us riding a royal Enfield vintage.
RIP Meet kumar sir....your legacy will be immortal...
Its not more than a flying coffin.
When India flies an outdated fighter its "invincible"
The AK of jets. No bling, no bells and whistles. Straight to the point.
RIP Sqn Ldr Meet Kumar. Really tragic loss to the nation.
A huge loss indeed. We pray for his soul to rest in peace.
old sword guarding our nations still having enough sharp edges to kill enemies .. proud to be an Indian thanku airforce jai hind
Jai Hind!

This is a Mig 21 Bison. The best model of the Mig21. A flying coffin nickname was only given to it by India, and nobody else in the world gave it such a name. All in all one of the best fighters of its day, somewhat aged now.
Awesome aircraft indeed and really great video! I don't know how safe I would feel taking it into combat knowing that it's something civilians now collect and play with as their personal hotrods.
Fight to Fly Photography
DCS MiG 21 is the closest one can get to flying this bird. Horrible manners at anything resembling slow, but otherwise fast as shit and versatile.
urbi3006 account I do love the DCS MiG-21. There are a few privately flying in U.S. Heck, even a MiG-29 that's privately owned flies out of my local airport monthly.
Fight to Fly Photography
A fulcrum. Really? Don't even wanna know the cost of operation...
urbi3006 account Yeah, it's pretty crazy. It's owned by Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft. He has a MASSIVE collection of WWII aircraft and tanks that are operational. 80% of the videos on my channel are of his planes, including the MiG-29.

Fuck me...
Also on the subject of DCS do you actually own the mig 21. I just bought it today.
4 years later, India is still to retire this Vintage Obsolete Coffin
Respect for seniors makes youth stronger..
Our pilots ,still call it their love,and it takes their lives
Respect and RIP to those Indian army Wingmen who lost their lives in these MIG-21 jets....
Still flying coffin can kick f16s butt 👍
Super..
Classic jet hot rod, it's very cool looking.
Rest in peace Sq. Leader Meet kumar.. may ur soul get eternal peace ..
Deepak kumar singh... Rip.. To squadron leader
Rest In Peace brother Meet....Enjoy the company of Apsaras in the heaven above....Miss You....God Bless 😔
Can't compete with modern fighters with this one.we need to replace it
It's interesting that none of the Air Force Chiefs ever took personal responsibility for the crash of Mig-21s. They know very well that these are museum pieces.
When an Indian submarine sunk in the dock in Mumbai and some sailors and officers died, the then Navy Chief took personal responsibility and resigned.
Most appealing words for the Indian pilot....." THIS IS THE COCKPIT AND THIS IS THE EJECTION SEAT".....!!!
RIP Great Soul 💐🙏
If I was a pilot I would refuse to fly with this plane
Rip Sq Ldr Meet Sir... Respect for your extreme sacrifice.. God bless your family.. Jai hind
Love India, from Brazil.
Like how the portable GPS is mounted to the cockpit dash. Cool aircraft!
Does India have two seater version of Mig 21? If yes for what purpose they are used for?
Touch the sky with GLORY. My God, my savior THE IAF, THE PECHORA , MY HEART FELT SALUTES TO YOU 🙏🇮🇳🙏☮️🙏💪👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹

Rip Meet Kumar, our heart goes out to his family!
Avinav Kumar That plane is piece of shit why don't they just scrap them all and put Tejas in.
They are actually flying good. Still they have got a fighting spirit. Let them serve india.
I miss you 😥😥😥✈ pilot
the IDF still uses the allouette II as well?
best fighter ever built !
Love with Mig plane. Manoj.

And more Lokheed Martin F16

Cup for 93k soldiers are waiting
It's unstable at low speeds and buffets like crazy during landing if you don't go at stupidly high speeds. Also it can't maneuver like anything built after the 60s. Also it doesn't have guns so you have to carry external gun pods.
But it can carry nukes.
Blazdur the Ridiculously Named
The later variants do have guns and yes, the bis can carry the rn-24. And it's pretty nible for something initially designed as a straight interceptor, but still a pretty straight example of an energy fighter. It doesn't like low speeds at all...
Keep em flying boys.
They are awesome
Rip ...Meet kumar Sir💐💐
MiG-21 is first legend Interceptor aircraft in the world.
i used to hate this aircraft but now i started loving mig 21 bison🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Sent this to museum , it's a vintage aircraft, it's a coffin for our fighter pilot
That's such an ancient plane OMG! it's even older than me
Man and its also much older than the Indian pilot here flying it
"invincible" interesting adjective used to describe a plane known as flying coffin.
400 /847 MiG 21 crashed.
It has outlived its usefulness
ah-64d pilots also sitting there
Clean shave little abhinandan
18 wing sqn is in pathankot 26 ... i was there and many of been heard about pathankot attack i was there inside the air base and i was just 100 meters away from the attack place
World best flying coffin
Museum beast from 1959
THAT WORD I SPEND MORE TIME WITH THIS MACHINE THAN MY WIFE THATS THE TRUE PASSION AND DREAM
The tea 🍵 is fantastic 😂😂😂😂
Tea was fantastic with 93k ☕😂😂😂

The mig-21 is so amazing.
Hope your air force will be stronger With more mig-21s.
love from china
Mig 21 Is shit its basically flying coffin
Life is so unexpected! RIP MEET KUMAR, also we need to upgrade our tech big time
Jf17 shooting down Mig21and su30 still a better love story than twilight.
India lying about them shooting down an f16 is still a better live story than twilight.
"Beautiful machine" flying coffin is what it is
Pitot tube isn't straight with the airframe! It points up slightly. Anyone else see it?
Anyone have the stats about how many of these have crashed so far and claimed pilots
I wish one day get into Mig21✈️..... Jai Hind🇮🇳
Daru Nahi hai vo😂
It might be obsolete now but it was a force to be reckoned with back in the day. During Vietnam War USA was desperate to get its hands on one so that they could reverse engineer this and find out why it was a great aircraft.
This is called Death machine ..
For its enemies, or for its pilots?
People who are calling it flying coffins have no idea the reasons behind it. Russian defination of low maintenance is it's easy to repair. Hence they don't have long service lives as they believe why make something perfect (be good enough) when it's going to be destroyed when shooting starts ie planned obsolescence. While IAF is a force who have the highest training sortie rate even when compared to USAF and USN. We fly training mission more than them. So this results in russian aircraft reaching end of their service life quite fast. While in western aircraft the defination of low maintenance is make something failure proof so the time between maintenance is quite long. IAF is a force with western tactics but with russian equipment. It doesn't use aircraft like missile trucks under the constant control of GCI but uses that and AWACS to set up kill chains. The problem lies with HAL which doesn't try to improve the service life of airframes by improving materials and construction techniques sticking with design data given by the Russians for licensed production, even the J7 the Chinese version of MIG 21 has improvements in from the start of its domestic production. When IAF upgraded Mig 21 to bison it needed engine upgrade, cft like in f16, a new wing platform and separate nose and side air intake basically an enlarged ftc2000.
Mig 21 old but still an amazing aircraft
So is a P-51 Mustang.
R.I.P MEET KUMAR SIR JAI HIND
This is most widely used? R u joking Sir? I guess almost all Nations except India has obsoleted this aircraft
3-4 generations have flown these planes..they shud be in museum now.
I'm Pakistani and I think the MiG 21 is one of my favorite aircraft. It's sexy, reliable and downright deadly.
its trash

It's not an airplane..it's a rocket with wings..some pilots say that only crazy daredevils and fearless can fly these machines..if doesn't matter if you pilot mig 29..or rafale..if you say that you piloted Mig 21..you are the hero all over ethe world..the one and only aircraft which instilled fear among the United States pilots..

DHAMAKAYDAR OFFER : now Customers can exchange these aircrafts with fantastic tea from any nearby PAF outlets -
@theutubeid so sad still today u have no idea what happened with IAF two jet planes only because of Indian media - IAF second jet fighter fall down in India occupied Kashmir - ur own media was showing wreckage of Mig 21 in IOK but funny part is they were calling it Pakstani f-16- ur own defence analysis exposed false claim of Indian air force he said that these are images of Mig-21 wreckage not not F-16 because of its diamond pattern shape - u can watch that video clip in my channel - visit my channel and watch that video of ur own media channel
