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

Lets not forget that PA was heavily outnumbered however our ratios were much better than yours. Lets leave this topic as there will be no winners.

You dont need numerical superiority when you are holding the advantageous heights and are in a well dug position. If Indian troops were holding those position and pakistani army was trying to recapture them, they couldn't have done it, I am so sure. Siachin ops of 1984 stand testimony to it.

Well if we used the SAM it will kill Indian plane 95%-98% of time

If we scramble a jet it is a soft chase , deescalation, and we only lose some fuel for planes
So why didn't we use a SAM and shot it down? ISPR said that Pakistan will dominate the escalation ladder. Why allowed them to return unharmed?
These are not good signs no matter what the fanboys want to believe.

IAF entered from Muzaffarabad sector. Pakistan AAM fell near balakot no casulities.

Of course, but that gives us significant advantage above the old f16s of 80s. besides the flankers have unmatched monoeuverability and ever eurofighters were not able to defeat it then where do f16s stand. There is a reason why India does not want them, they are obsolete and stand zero chance against the likes of flankers and rafales and even mig29s.

You highly, highly underestimate F-16 just on the basis of the time of its initial production. The F-16 has undergone immense changes since that time, it is a very much capable aircraft. And the flankers don't have unmatched manoeuvrability, the F-16 was made for Dogfighting, the SU-30MKI was not, although thrust vectoring helps, the F-16 still will dominate the dogfight.

And even for BVR engagements, like I said, F-16 isn't the aircraft of 80s, it is just as capable as the SU-30MKI, it also has the ability to launch such missiles and can have a high range, it comes down to the mods used for the plane, as in the radars and stuff.

You go and tell any fighter enthusiast that F-16 is obsolete and stand zero chance against the likes of flankers, rafales and even mig 29's, and they will hit you right across you face with a hard slap.

The witness to the competitiveness of F-16s is the USAF itself, the Israeli Air Force, and the Greece Air Force.

The USAF to this date, uses F-16s, although phased out its procurement, as it moves onto the fifth generation fighters, the F-16 are still considered really valuable, being used highly in Middle East and Afghanistan.
The Israeli Air Force, for virtually all its known air-based operations and raids, used the F-16, there were several right ups on this, with the Russians even getting mad at Israel at one point.
The Greece Air Force has excelled with the F-16s in their KDR ratios, even scoring really well against F-35's in NATO exercises, they are renowned for their air force due to their good performance in NATO exercises.

You really showed your knowledge regarding Aircrafts by bringing up their initial production time into your argument, it's completely invalid in this case. Turkey, USAF, Greece, Israel, Pakistan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and many more, aren't retards to dump a whole lot of their budgets for fleets of F-16, its success and upgradation, followed by competitiveness why its still being developed further; check latest procurement by Taiwan.

Payload and Balakot :o: They did intrude deep into Pakistani airspace.
 
.
Could be a drop tank.How far is Balakot from the LC?
I was thinking that.
Not far:
