The author of the article alleges that, “The latest air crash is perhaps a reminder of Airforce wing where most aircraft appear in dire need for replacement in a country where competing interests have been openly hostile to the army’s move   to replace the ageing hardware”.

It is unfortunate that the reporter chose to make such shocking claims without carrying out an extensive research on the impact of age on the airworthiness of an aircraft.
