Om Shanti to all those who lost their lives in this tragic crash today. @sweep_shot @MMHS @Bhaag Viru Bhaag @anikrc1

This incident once again raises serious questions about the reliability of Chinese-made aircraft, particularly those from Chengdu Aircraft Industry. Just a few months ago, during Operation Sindoor, the Pakistan Air Force which operates Chengdu fighters was utterly incapable of defending its airspace. India executed precise strikes using Rafales and BrahMos missiles, and the Chinese platforms proved completely ineffective.

The performance was so dismal that the PAF reportedly refused a heavily discounted offer for J-35s, realizing that national security can’t be compromised by bargain-bin hardware. When your defense depends on platforms that fail under pressure, no discount is worth it.

Bangladesh should take note. Relying on cheap, substandard Chinese aircraft might save money in the short term, but it costs lives and compromises national defense. Instead of going for low-cost deals, nations like Bangladesh should invest in proven, high-performance platforms whether from Europe, Russia, or other credible defense suppliers.

When it comes to defense, reliability must outweigh affordability. A nation’s sovereignty deserves nothing less.

Are you trying to imply that @sweep_shot @MMHS @anikrc1 and myself lost someone in this crash? How low will you go? .

Nor is it the time and place to be making cheap pot shots and propaganda about operation whatever, very low from him indeed. The air India thread for eg had nothing but condolences for pages on end, here he couldn’t resist from page 1. Pretty pathetic but sadly becoming expected behavior from him.

Edit: post is deleted now but still.

Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Raji’uun for those passed away and condolences to their families.
