The Indian pilots also had more flight time in the previous year than the
U.S. pilots, roughly 300 hr. compared with 250 hr., the pilot said.

The difference in flight time is alarming.

Considering that India and Pakistan almost went head to head in a nuclear
exchange not too long ago, I would think that the Indian AF would have been
flying many many hours of practice missions to deal with that threat, and, that
this fact could account for the disparity.
