IAF deploys Sukhoi fighters in Punjab

Yes! and we realized that and changed that, and are much better now.

If you think you are "better", then you do have a weird sense of "better" my friend ^^
 
Going by the same argument, the F16 has never fought a Su 30 MKI or even a Su 27 flanker for that matter. You cant really say its "combat proven" when the majority of the operations that the F16s have taken part in, was against countries with inferior or no air force.

But I remember seeing a video on youtube, where Mirage 2000s from the Hellenic air force, shot down the F16s from Turkey.

BTW I have a question: When will the Su 30 MKIs have the AESA radars?

You are right mate F-16 never fought with any good air defence system or better fighter aircraft.+

For AESA radar

Dec 20/11: Russia has reportedly signed a preliminary deal with India to sell 42 upgraded Su-30MKI “Super 30” fighters, to be added to HAL’s license production backlog. That brings total Indian SU-30 orders to 272. Key Super 30 upgrades are reported to include a new radar (probably AESA, and likely Phazotron’s Zhuk-AE), improved onboard computers, upgraded electronic warfare systems, and the ability to fire the air-launched version of the Indo-Russian BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. Price was not reported, but Parliamentary transcripts place the budget for this buy at around $2.4 billion.
