Let's analyze what other evidence is there in public domain:
1) There is evidence of at least another jet going down: Multiple Locals(you can find videos on youtube) told/were talking about 3 parachutes (so that mean 3 pilots). So at least another fighter went down(it could be from either...
@Bilal Khan 777 , sir any comment on the theory above. The silence of DG ISPR since that day is confusing to say the least. But I think the way things are, we may have to wait till at least 23rd March or 14th Aug to get a confirmation.
If anything F-16 shooting down SU-30, will be great...
So here is my theory:
- F-16s were not involved in the Air Strikes itself. Mirages and JF-17s may have carried those out.
- PAF stationed formations of both F-16 and JF-17 well inside Pakistan territory to prevent any hot-pursuit by IAF.
- The strike package was not to cross LOC as per plan...
I think there is only one good way to end this controversy. PAF / ISPR should take the initiative and display/present all the 76 F-16s to US Defense Attache or Rep. of Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin takes repute of there product very seriously and it will be more than willing to take this...
sssssh, Kashmir is Integral Part of India.
And no, Kashmir's never chanted "Pakistan Zindabad", "Pak Army Zindabad" standing around charred bodies of IAF Heli crew shortly after news of PAF shooting down 2 Indian jets. That never happened. Fake News, fake media.
P.S.: Sarcasm Intended
In opinion Pakistan has two options.
Diplomatic: Despite India's aggression the international community will not want things to escalate between two nuclear armed nations. Now there will be pressure to let go; specially considering there was no real damage done and PAF was able to engage...
But one has to remember as DG ISPR said and as other people already had mentioned that during past few days IAF was flying CAPs on their side of border as well. PAF was doing the same on its side.
So even if a formation was detected it was difficult to differentiate if it was one of those going...
So here is what we can conclude:
1) PAF was on alert with 2 CAPs flying.
2) IAF deployed decoy/diversionary formation in Lahore-Sialkot and Bahawalpur area. PAF responded and kept them in check.
3) Then 3rd IAF formation(main attack force; bigger than other two) was detected. The 3rd PAF CAP...
This further corroborated by following sources:
Reuters Report:

“We couldn’t tell what had happened. It was only in the morning that we figured out it was an attack,” he told Reuters after visiting the site, in...
DG ISPR press conference explains well what happened last night and connects all the dots.
Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor, the director general (DG) of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), is holding a press conference on India's violation on the Line of Control (LoC) earlier in the day.
Early on...
So why the hell ISPR can not issue a clarification. Its been good few hours.
Secondly, simply showing few pic won't work. They need to come out with good amount of info like radar record, radio comm. And if this was indeed Balakot KPK, finally there needs to be a response as this was well...
This DG ISPR needs to sacked if this turns out to be Balakot in J&K. I mean everyone know that most people will think of Balakot in KPK when you simply write 'Balakot'.
Most likely a mission geared at gathering electronic intelligence. Intention being that Pakistan may activate its SAM / Sensors; which may give away their location and type.
Pakistan know's this technique too so probably just scrambled jets and made IAF fighters go back.
