I remember how targeting pod and weapon camera footages were shown by US military in Iraq wars. Just recently, how Russians did the same in Syria. This was made sure it reached the world media within hours. This leaves an impact on the adversary and the audience at a large.
PAF demonstration in this aspect lacks credibility. In all honesty, even genuine well wishers like us can raise serious question why after six months?
Why could not PAF boldly come out and say we shot down SU-30 deep inside Indian controlled territory? If we were afraid US would come after us, the statement from US State Department that US end user agreements do not permit US to disclose nature and scenario in which to use US supplied weapons clearly stated the opposite. This was in response to an Indian questioner. In fact, it looks to me hearing that statement, that the US took pride that a US weapon shot down top of the line, most modern Russian jet.
