I am guessing then you will agree that a Pakistan naval aircraft was shot down by IAF fighters in 1999. Don't know why India makes a big deal out of this....
You either missed the point or you are being ignorant to the fact that even before the delivery was completed, these aircraft were involved in combat but the hard to digest fact is that after 1994 or rather in the last 23 years, PAF only lost one F-16.
Obviously showing your true nature, you would deny any credit to PAF, so let me put your fires out with gasoline that all but one kill were either SU-22s and MiG-23s as well as one SU-25 flown by former Russian vice President.
However not a single helicopter was ever shot down but hey, so what if you are in oblivion.
As i said you like to see the glass half empty, in the same list, it clearly states two aircraft lost to bird strikes and the son of the pilot shot down is a member on this forum who can confirm it was a stray missile.
This crash happened much later than the subject crashes you are desperate to prove otherwise.
The way Crow flies, you keep repeating the 900 figure without the comprehension that only half of those are combat aircraft.
In desperation to prove something, you are getting your figures in a muddle, i have highlighted the figure and i believe that should be 285 hours per year.
All depends on the cause of the crash, you don't ground the fleet due to a bird strike or if an individual pilot has suffered disorientation.
Actually it's you who is desperate to prove something from nothing, maybe if the culprit wasn't an SU-30, you wouldn't be so confused and running in circles.
I find the likes of Prat and Whitney or Lockheed Martin much more authentic and credible than some internet guy assuming, presuming and doing the guess work, you don't even know the types of aircraft the PAF has shot down in combat yet here you are trying to be some expert on the matter, we all know, how after the last exercise with the RAF, the IAF even went on national TV, with fake claims and stories, and if they could attain any milestone, it would make headline news, but i guess military aviation is just not Cricket.

I am not interested in comparing Chinese war planes with Indians since I don't have reliable data for Chinese planes. It is YOU who brought up the Chinese war plane. I was only comparing Indian war planes with Pakistani jet, which, is a single-engine jet and again, was brought up by another Indian.
RIP. They must have tried to save the plane or the incident was so sudden that they didnt had time to eject.
It's certainly weird, that they couldn't initiate ejection and yet their bodies weren't found...
I guess they are just assuming on the possibilities. Since there was no mayday call or subsequent SOS signal so it only means that either the jet flew into the terrain or it became paralyzed in a manner that no systems functioned.
May be fly by wire system failed and before pilot could do anything plane crashed and bodies might be dragged away by animals.
