| On the evening of October 14, an Indian Air Force Su-30MKI fighter suddenly crashed into a farm about 200 meters from a residential area of Kolawadi village near Theur in Pune district while on a training mission. |
 |
| According to Pune district officials, the plane crashed 200 meters away from a residential area of about 20 houses in Undre Vasti, and the noise of the accident attracted many people living nearby. |
 |
| “The two pilots of the plane sustained minor injuries in the accident,” Loni Kand police station inspector Chandrakant Jadhav said. According to initial information, there was no loss of life or property at the crash site. |
 |
| It is known that this Su-30MKI accident is the 5th consecutive accident of this aircraft in the past 5 years. On April 30, 2009, in the city of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan state, India, a Su-30MKI fighter crashed, killing one pilot. |
 |
| On November 30, 2009, another SU-30MKI fighter jet of the Indian Air Force crashed 40km from the city of Jaisalmer while the aircraft was on a routine flight 150km from the Pakistan border. The two pilots ejected without injury, but all flights of the entire Su-30MKI fleet were suspended pending an investigation into the cause of the accident. |
 |
| On December 13, 2011, an Indian Air Force Sukhoi-30MKI fighter jet crashed near the town of Maharashtra. The two pilots ejected safely. The accident occurred after the aircraft took off from the Lohegaon air base on the outskirts of Pune. The crash site was 20 km from the departure point. |
 |
| On February 20, 2013, the Indian Air Force lost another Su-30MKI in the state of Rajasthan. According to reports, the accident occurred on the night of February 19 during a training flight. However, the Indian Air Force command announced that the incident occurred on February 20. The accident did not cause any casualties. The Indian Air Force did not announce the cause of the accident. |
 |
| Among the countries using Su-30, India is the country with the most accidents. In 2012, India began to complain about the Su-30MKI, pointing out some defects in the manufacturing technology in the electronic control system and flight control. Because Russia did not respond to the incident, India made these problems public. In the photo: The Su-30MKI crashed at the 1999 Paris Le Bourget International Air and Space Show. |
 |
| On the Russian side, after a Su-30MKI crashed in 2011, Russian experts had to go to the scene to investigate and discovered that most of the Indian fighter jets were parked outdoors. Russia concluded that prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays had seriously affected the fuselage and the performance of the equipment.

| Furthermore, during the period 1992 - 2004, this company also contributed greatly to aircraft accidents: out of 10 Mig-21s related to HLA (2 assembled and 8 overhauled), 8 crashed; 3 assembled and 5 overhauled Jaguars, 6 crashed; 4 overhauled Mirage-2000s, all 4 crashed; 3 overhauled Mig-29s, all 3 crashed; the Su-30MKI damaged in 2009 was also a "perfect product" of HAL.
