The platforms left that needs PAF clobbering are Mig29 and M2ks

M2K is a strike aircraft primarily and one of the best that IAF has got, Mig-29's are dedicated AD fighters. Even with the presence of Su30, IAF used M2k for strike, putting SU30 on AD.
This is a debatable statement since F-16 has:
1. Low RCS (compared to SU30) so longer radar range of SU30 doesnt get advantage.
2. EW systems for jamming/deceiving/confusing radar
3. Targeting pod for IR tracking of SU30 by switching OFF F-16 radar further probability of detection.
Infact due to higher RCS and radiating a powerful radar, there are significant chances that SU30 will be picked off on radar at the same time by F-16 if not earlier.
That actually makes sense.
The window for showdown was very short. PAF put forth its best assets (F-16, JF-17) on the front. With around 240 SU-30 in service and roughly 60+ Mig-29's for CAP missions, IAF actually had Mig-21's on station on that fateful day. Even if its argued that 2-3 SU30 squadrons needed to be alert towards PLAAF all the time, that is around 60 SU30's at maximum, that still leaves 180 SU30's to face PAF.
PAF made available few F-16's from the strength of 76 F-16's, and few JF-17's from the strength of around 100 JF-17, for the mission conducted on 27th Feb. This ascertains that expected PAF response either stretched IAF's squadrons to their maximum limits that Mig-21's had to make a show to cover up numbers in the air OR PAF's planning took IAF completely by surprise as if PAF was waiting for the weakest gap in IAF CAP's to make the move for 100% mission success rate through constantly monitoring IAF movements from across the border.
IAF may find solace by raising Rafale squadrons, but now it feels that even 126 Rafales won't be enough when 240 SU-30 + 65 Mig-29 + 100 Mig-21 were unable to stop 4 or 6 or 8 or 10 PAF aircrafts.
Their Micas are of no use?M2K is a strike aircraft primarily
Thanks for the compliment. In the arcane realm of covert intelligence, such remarks are compliments on how well the organization has hidden it's activities. I am so excited and thrilled.

Pakistan have a long history to pull out of wars, under political pressure... so i doubt anyone in Indian army is worried a bit about experimenting war with Pakistan.
India also needs to improve its communications structure so the next time they face the PAF, their entire communications apparatus does not collapse and end up shooting down their own helicopters.
More accurate description would be - Pak has long history of getting into wars it can't win and then pulling out in the face of failed objectives.
A bit like how you and your ilk also claimed to have killed exactly 350 terrorists in Balakot and shot down an F-16...........
The reality is that india has a long history of being militarily humiliated by a nation that is more than 7× smaller than it despite having the full backing of the West and Russia..........................and then being too weak and powerless to do ANYTHING about it.......
And this is said by a guy who lost all wars and his country got broken vertically into two.
