No- the opening slide of the DGMO briefing today 'remnants of Pakistani Mirage'
Text officially claims it
Details of the Damage caused to A AWACS Hangar at Bholari
So definitely the Awacs inside must be shattered ie if the external structure is so bad

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:
Air Engagement of Operation Sindoor : Analysis
We can argue all day about the effectiveness of the weapons (on that note, it seems several SCALPs were successfully brought down by Pakistani AD - for something that costs nearly as much as a BrahMos, its survivability seems to be comparatively quite low) but the bigger question seems to be the...www.strategicfront.org
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.
Looks like they will give us Op Sindoor Part 2.
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.
