these are mig-27s, flying free at jaisalmer. the reason for the post header is that the air chief said at a press conference the day before that the entire flogger fleet had been grounded as a result of severe maintenance problems at the overhaul stage. but they appear to be flying in rajasthan!

These are Mig 27s and not Mig 23s. The mig 23s have been retired from active service not the 27s. so they can very well take part in the event.

Hats off to our brave pilots who put their lives to protect our nation by flying these rust filled aircrafts.
