Although that I believe it is a good idea to have our fleet of F-16's accounted for, not by the media though but by Lockheed Martin. However, at the end of the day, I am confident that IAF, Indian Military & Government are well aware of what happened.
And what I can guarantee is, had the Mig-21 been able to down one of our F-16's; the Indian Government and IAF would have initiated a full scale war with Pakistan with the confidence that even their Bison's could shoot down Falcons.........I would have done it, if not that then atleast a massive, repeated and exhausting attack on PAF for air dominance and for decimation of PAF once and for all.
But what happened later on is eye popping evidence of what really happened. The reality ofcourse is that IAF & Indian Government got a brutal reality check when even the pride of their country the mighty SU-30MKI was shot down, not by a Falcon but by a Thunder, along with an upgraded Bison being flown by one of top IAF pilots.
So, naturally, the Indian Government & Military immediately decided to scale down the hostilities as the outcome was not in their favor. Not just that, IAF and the Government are pissed at being unable to acquire Rafael........and so the Indian Prime Minister vented his frustration on the media and in that frustration he clearly indicated that not having Rafael made all the difference to the outcome of the conflict as PAF's Thunders proved to be too much for IAF's MKI's and Bisons!
P.S. The Indian PM must be enlightened that PAF would not be sitting idle while IAF acquires Rafael and by the time IAF inducts Rafael, PAF may well be inducting J-31!
