The Indian Air Force has lost over XXXXX fighter jets and more than XXXXX pilots to non-combat crashes in the last XX years, with most losses happening during peacetime missions and training flights—main causes include technical failures, bird strikes, pilot error, and aging fleets. Official numbers for Chinese and Pakistani Air Force losses are much less transparent: China does not regularly release such statistics, but scattered media reports show periodic crashes (often old J-7 fighters) during training, with technical failures and pilot error being typical causes—exact totals over XX years are unknown. For Pakistan, available parliamentary records show the PAF lost around XX fighter aircraft between 2000–2003 on non-combat operations; over the decades, their main causes echo those of India and China (maintenance issues, training, and equipment age), but comprehensive multi-decade data isn’t made public. In summary: India’s published non-combat fighter losses are the highest and best documented, while both China and Pakistan likely have significant, if less-quantified, peacetime losses for similar reasons—aging hardware, human error, and high training activity.
