Don't agree, Kargil was also a limited conflict and the only reason why PAF didn't pose their fighters was the lack of BVR capabilities.
Now with BVR capable F16s, they would use them of course too and there will be 1 on 1 of PAF and IAF fighters again, but that doesn't mean it would end up in a full fleged war.
I think and hope that both sides a smart enough to never let it come to a full fleged war, but smaller conflicts are possible as our past often showed.
Lack of BVR never brought PAF to standstill rather it was its reasonable approch of not getting into a war to open several front.
