According to the Russian Military News reported on August 11, India’s rapidly losing interest in Russian military aircraft, serving Russian-made aircraft will be phased out, particularly the use and maintenance of sophisticated MiG-21. At the same time, on the basis of imitation in the MiG-21 Air Force F-7 made China will quickly retired fighters.

Indian Air Force announced last year that will phase out the MiG-21 fighter, recently improved 120 MiG-21 will be retired after six years, and the remaining 85 MiG-21 will exit at a later time, the Air Force combat formation.

But now the old MiG-21 has been completely backward, are often shot down in combat. And MiG-21 aircraft is still quite expensive, extremely complicated to use and maintain, which is a common problem common Russian aircraft, Russia have been turning a blind eye. From the West more and more advanced aircraft in India found that Western aircraft more affordable than the Russian-made aircraft, use and maintenance easier and more economical, attitudes of service providers, although Russian aircraft price is still cheap, but the use and expensive to maintain, but there are many additional difficulties.
