Ok, all sources say JF-17 shot down Mig 21, but there's one more aircraft was shot down, I think it's Mirage 2000

The second fighter is a SU-30.
The other jet was a MiG-21 as well.What made you conclude that? Got any additional photos / or inside resources from India confirming that?

Aren't Indians ready to go beyond Mig-21s?????The other jet was a MiG-21 as well.
Its surprising in a way. IAF has 100-120 Mig-21's and more than 250 SU-30. Yet they chose to send in a pair of Mig-21's after PAF's JF-17s. Its understandable that Mig-21 squadron would be stationed there, but deputing a squadron near LOC of an aircraft type which is to be retired soon, how wise is that !The other jet was a MiG-21 as well.

I know the Indians are extremely stringent with their finances, calculations, cost/benefit analysis etc. and are great at savings, but are they that miser with their AF too????

Im thinking towards a UCAV armed with A2A missiles, having no pilot or POW issues. Cheaper than an aircraft though less sophisticated and less maneuverable too. And for operational efficiency, a twin seater aircraft with WSO controlling 3-4 UCAV's who are used as either decoys or as primary attacking force flying ahead of the aircraft. 2-4 X AAM's on each UCAV.Aren't Indians ready to go beyond Mig-21s?????
