One thing I am still curious about. What was the major impact that India achieved that rendered Paki jets unable to engage any Indian aircraft attacking their airbases? I mean they were on highest possible alert and hence detected and fought against IAF package that bombed the terrorist camps by launching PL-15 indisrciminately.
But after that engagement, it seems Pakis were unable to even engage with IAF packages as they bombed Paki airbases with impunity. Or did they still launch PL-15s randomly? Though they tried to attack after our attacks but were repulsed every time. But it seems that they didn't engage with our packages, neither their air defence nor their FAs. Though ADs were definitely knocked out, for which we even have image confirmation. Was it the loss of radars & the AWACS by S-400 which forced them to fly farther behind the conflict zone and rendered them unable to engage IAF?
