27 Feb 19: PAF shot down two Indian aircrafts inside Pakistani airspace: DG ISPR

Guys!
Someone showed me these badges from PAF. Are these legit? Why is there a Su-30MKI on these?



 
I don’t see engines or anything- just what appears to be a triangular piece that resembles a Sukhoi or Mirage airframe.

The non enhanced version seems to show SU 30, while the enhanced version seems to show Mirage making a left hand turn.

Viewing the image on computer actually distorts the image. As it was taken on a phone it should be viewed on phone and on phone it is a bet between SU 30 or Mirage 2000. Though my initial assumption was SU-30 based on the first view.

Can anyone explain how is this image is being classified as SU-30? I mean its so low res...

It is very difficult to comprehend. but look at its size even at high altitude, nose down design, big flames of fire from engines, it gives many clues.
 
Here is a digitally enhanced version ... apparently its a mirrage ... cant be mig for sure however if we consider the size of the plane and assume that due to missile hit and fire vertical and horizental stabilizer were damaged than its su 30 ... considering the inclination in nose its more likely a su30 with damaged stabilizers ... in any case its not f16 coz f16 do not have curved nose

Mirage has straight nose...

One thing is for sure .. Nose is angled downward compared to body

It is definitely SU-30.

The delta wing design illusion in the picture is caused because of fire smoke and stalled airflow.
