Indian Air Force to retire all 4 MiG-21 squadrons by 2025

Officials claim that the decision to phase out jets is unrelated to the July 28 Barmer crash, but it is instead linked to a previous plan to replace the MiG-21s with newer fighter jets.

The Indian Air Force plans to retire one MiG-21 squadron by the end of September and the other three over the next three years. The military is set to decommission four squadrons of its MiG-21 fighter jets which are scheduled over the next three years.

The Indian Air Force will retire one more squadron of the MiG-21 Bison aircraft by September 30 with all fighter jets slated to be phased out before 2025.

This was a decision in response to recent fatal accidents, which has caused concerns over the safety of these aging aerospace craft.

India’s oldest and longest-serving fighter plane, the MiG-21 is being put under increased scrutiny following recent crashes.
