Do you have a source bro? Or more specifically who/in what capacity is your source wrt the Su 30s, IAF or the operation? Dont need revealing details but just general idea where this came from.
To add to that, we most likely lost two jets( unconfirmed, but a m2k and mig29upg most likely)
White we shot down 3-4 paki fighter jets in air to air kill, 1-2 by our air defense, 1 awacs by s400.
And multiple other paki jets, drones etc by pounding paki airbases, plus another paki
awacs on ground by pounding by iaf.
Along with many ground radars, infra damage and attack on nuclear facilities.
IAF was legit pissed, and had it gone on for 2-3 more days, half of paf aerial and ground assests and most of its high value assests would have been destroyed.
Basically paf would have been destroyed as a effective fighting force, as most of its jets are old and incapable of air to air combat.
I would also like to state, no rafale was lost.
But 1-2 may have been hit by fragments in tail/back, but were made flight worthy within 24 hours.
That pic of rafale tail and engines on social media are fake.
