Скачать или смотреть MiG-21 Retires: Pilot With Most Flying Hours Bids Emotional Farewell To IAF Warhorse | India Today

As the MiG-21 fighter jet retires from the Indian Air Force after six decades of service, India Today speaks with Air Commodore S.S. Tyagi, the pilot with the most flying hours on the aircraft. It is an emotional moment for the veteran who said, "I had never thought in my living life that I'll see this day when MiG-21 will not be part of the Indian Air Force or part of our life." He recounts his experiences, including a highly accurate bombing practice from Pathankot to Jaisalmer. The discussion also touches upon 'Operation Sindhu', the fall in IAF's squadron strength to 29, and the view that future combat effectiveness will depend on advanced weapon systems, not just numbers. In a poignant conclusion, when asked what he would say to the jet if it were a person, he responded, "Don't worry, you'll always be with me."
