There is a screenshot from a viral video.What is the source of this image?
Cant see video, please reuploadIt is definitely SU-30.
The delta wing design illusion in the picture is caused because of fire smoke and stalled airflow.

Or just debris. Not sure how in such a pixelated section of the image you made out trailing edge angles.. biased speculation galore
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
I think stablizer on the right is visible while left one is in flames or shred away. If we take it for mirage then nose is very long as compared to the body and wings apart from crookedness.The nose looks too narrow for a Mirage-2000, the SU-30 stabilisers seems to be missing.
If anything, the image resembles the Israeli Kfir Fighter jet .
It clearly a Su-30Mki .Not a mirage 2000 or any other aircraft .Mirage 2000 does not have such large cone in the front .Guys you have overlooked another possibility. What you seeing is not the nose but wing with aircraft's nose on fire and it's like pulling up.

To me the only thing that might point it towards making it an Su-30, is the proportion of the frame silhouette i.e. the length of the nose section and the apparent wing-span … although not too clear but the closest match is the Su-30 in my humble opinion.Guys you have overlooked another possibility. What you seeing is not the nose but wing with aircraft's nose on fire and it's like pulling up.

Agreed in totality.Agreed but F16s were present at that day , they were not involved in bombing or escort mission but was on backup plan deep inside our air space to support if things get hot which eventually went ... Remember it was PAF planned mission and PAF was dictating the rules of engagement ...
When DG ISPR stated that F16s not involved in today's assault he was right as F16s were not part of strike package but they can be on air defence operations ...
