Let me paint a purely hypothetical scenario.....once the IAF planes dropped their payload and were going back, they were chased by our jets who launched several AMRAAMs / SD-10s and some IAF jets were shot down (albeit on their side of LOC)....point i want to make is....once the IAF did this, such type of on-the-spot response would have been logically accepted by the world, with IAF planes shot down to boot...would have lent credence to our stance as well, since we RESPONDED on the spot....moreover there is a lot of difference between on-the-spot resistance and going for retaliation the next day, the first thing speaks alot and deters even more.....What you are telling us here was to be happened and couldn't happen, was it even feasible to happen from pure technical PoV i.e considering the v limited time, IAF was inside Pak airspace?
you can then then imagine the change in air sitation the next day when PAF would have launched its retaliatory strikes....
