Such war trophies from 1965 and 1971 are laying all over India in parks, Traffic intersections in form of Pakis tanks and planes.
Pakistanis just need something to show to their public and so far they failed in that
Pakis have a obsession (Or you can say fear) about India planes since 1965, 1971 wars. Even on 14th December 1971 when surrender of Pakistan 93000 soilders and generals was just 1 day away , their Newspapers (Dawn included) was showing headlines of 175 Indian planes hit.
i don't think they failed in convincing their public. deep down pak awaam also knows pak got a solid thrashing, but they've been nurtured to block it out. hence, they'll accept any churan that aids in the process. that's what's helped them tide over past wars' losses
only a few pakis who are able to think critically have actually accepted that they were beaten (them and PAF of course). else the whole country is in an afeem-fueled rave about their own world
to those who say "let them be. their ship is sinking and they're celebrating", unfortunately the world won't let pak sink. they've taken multiple bailouts before, they'll take more in the future to keep afloat. that population is so bereft of any self-respect that it has no shame in begging repeatedly!
