The Indian air force said May 26 it will scrap 70 MiG-21 aircraft next year and, in an added step, will further shrink its fleet of fighter aircraft, depleted by regular crashes.
Air force chief S. Krishnaswamy told reporters in the southern city of Bangalore that the single-seater, Russian-built jets being trashed were the oldest variant of its mainstay MiG fleet.
