All Pakistani F-16s are accounted for: US Govt buries Indian propaganda.

Geographical advantage is a nightmare fr opposing forces. One of the major reasons why Pakistan was able to take those High peaks in kargil without major damage ( which it would have sustained had the peaks been manned properly) is the emptiness of them. This made it a nightmare for India to dislodge Pakistan from it and they had to make multiple thrusts to pull it off suffering casualties. Even then some peaks remained under Pakistan control. just like Pakistan India is also entrenched at many advantageous positions which is why if you would study the 1965 and 1971 war you would see that Pakistan and India tried to pace the Kashmir skirmishes to the points where they held the advantage and avoided attacking places where the opposing forces were entrenched.
By-pass peaks strongholds and bunkers on peaks. circumvent and cut off rear. Not every peak has entrenched enemy on it. There are many peaks with nominal presence or just observation posts. Use of artillery and Air Force helps assaulting troops, this was seen in Kargil. It's not really static warfare. In future wars, helicopters will play a major role in assaulting, reinforcing, supplying and capturing peaks. Not proper Gunships maybe, but transport helicopters. It will also be important to take on roads and cross roads, bridges and peaks over looking highways. The further north we go, manning posts becomes more difficult, in fact the density of troops starts to decrease also and eventually becomes minimal around Siachen area due to climate and geography. The use of Air Force becomes necessary to dislodge enemy troops from peaks and interdiction missions become more important to deny the enemy from reinforcing or counter attacking any captured peak. Road transport system is very slow in mountainous terrain and width of roads matters as well as tonnage of supply that cargo trucks can haul. PAF has not shown much presence in LOC before, IAF has had good experience in Kargil and nearby sectors. Most of the experience that PAF has shown in conducting strikes in mountainous terrain is on the western border.

this confirmation by u.s also shows that jf17 shot down both indians jets and f16 are not used in combat

If the news of an AIM-120C-5 fragment landing inside IoK is correct then F-16's were indeed used. Could be that the F-16's fired from 30-50 km's inside Pakistani Airspace. But then it would be very interesting to note whether the missile(s) hit any target(s) or not.

Lets not lose our cool. If he has been fed a lie by those he trusts, it’s not on his intellect to dispute it.
this guy always makes false claims
and then pretends as if he is some 5 star big shot in Indian military getting live feed of every move they make
i remember during their first surgical strike drama he was telling his fellows how Indian army used specially modified choppers and our Radars were jammed and lots of other big claims but later their own military denied use of helicopters

We have pretenders on both sides.

To be honest israeliz would be a worthy foe , indians are just too cheap and low quality people...
But i don't think we should make new enemies we are better off at a distance from anything related to israel or middle east menace
We should keep a very close eye on the isrealis

Possible but I have some doubts about it
You don't have to believe the American report. All we ask of you is start questioning the ridiculous claims your media and sometimes government officials have made

Yes just as they have eyes on us, suspesion is mutual their enemies are brotherly towards pakistan and our enemies are friendly towards israeliz.

But it doesn't mean we are enemies, God Forbid Pakistan or israel ever view each other as enemies.
