I am feeling like ISPR will be doing another conference with more details and maybe another pilot with Su-30 kill. Its in Pakistan's interest to show the SU-30MKI kill because:
1. Completely discredits IAF
2. More importantly completely discredits Modi's gov
3. Easy to forward the narrative that Modi gov tried to disown their own.
4. Indian people have high feelings for their troops, #3 means he will massively lose support
5. For peace efforts we don't want terrorist like Modi ruling India
6. Unrelated to India but SU-30MKI kill would bolster JF-17 sale and exports.
So if we want peace, which surely can't happen under Modi, completely destroying the trust people have in Modi's gov is important. And nothing can destroy trust in them than showing that indeed there was a 2nd Indian aircraft destroyed, and HOPEFULLY we have another pilot in custody to prove it (as Indians will say video evidence was edited/fake)
This would be a great opportunity to destroy Modi's gov. Of course this is only if we have indisputable evidence.
This is precisely why they are waiting. They may release the truth a day before election day, or even perhaps that morning.
You don't want to push a psychopathic terrorist like Modi against the wall; the truth coming out will put his entire political future on the line, and he will be predisposed to doing something VERY dangerous and reckless, risking all out war.
