still loads of points not cleared

Day 1 - did IAF engage any PAF fighters which were firing PL-15s

Day 2,3 - was any PAF fighter engaged by air defences.

During the PAF raid there was chatter supported by initial confirmation (refer aroors tweet) of shootdowns

Some very serious people claimed it was Atleast one 16. What happened to that?


Is this because Pak side wanted it kept low key as a condition to step down

Or

Post balakot, we are not claiming because we don’t have wreckage?
 
Went over some of the points in this post on Rafale thread:


Another thing that we need to note is the fact that PAF has had considerable exposure to the Rafale & it's technologies, vulnerabilities & shortcomings, through Qatar. Hands-on exposure.

Goes to what I've been saying since a very long time, further investment in the platform (beyond the +36 that we're probably gonna buy anyway to justify the economics of the 2016 deal) would be quite foolish.

That would have been a problem before, but it doesn't affect us now. It's not like PAF's exposure to M2000 gave them any advantage in 2019. They even avoided getting into combat with it over Kashmir.
 
The effect of Sindoor...

SBS-3 was supposed to take until end-2028, but they are fast-tracking it to end-2026. This program will launch 52 spy satellites into orbit.


These satellites will be networked with each other and run on AI. They will be integrated with the Guardian drones as well. The satellites will even track submarine movements in the Indo-Pacific and IOR. Of course, more satellites will be launched for global surveillance.
