Everything India does and its keyboard warrior try to portray can be simplified as pure machismo.

It’s 2058, Indian netizens are still haunted by images of the J-10

Honestly, neither side should get too pretentious about this conflict. It was a battle between French and Chinese fighter jets. India can’t buy Chinese planes due to strategic limitations and Pakistan can’t buy French planes due to financial restrictions. So it’s not even like one or the other country bought “smarter”.

It would be great if we can have the translated version of the actual report. Believing Indian, Pak, Chinese media report about the story will be tough.

The report also confirms that India did have a setback on the first day because they underestimated Pakistan’s JF-17 and the Chinese PL-15 missiles. They made a strategic miscalculation that the missiles didn’t have enough range to penetrate into Indian airspace, leading to the loss of at least three Indian aircraft.
I think this is a wake-up call for the Indian defense establishment to not underestimate a foe like Pakistan—though eventually it turned out that India did achieve air superiority. Pakistan also held on in the information warfare by claiming that they shot down six aircraft and trying to spin it off as a win, which is clearly not the case since only one country was able to penetrate airspace and hit defense assets, including cratering multiple Pakistani air bases, destroying hangars, and also hitting terrorist infrastructure.
I think the narrative war was lost by India by ceding the narrative to Pakistan—by making the world focus on the fact that they downed six aircraft, including the high-profile Rafale. India’s military doctrine needs to change going forward, and the gloves must come off. Any cross-border infiltration or attack needs to be met with a gloves-off approach, including leveraging all capabilities under the nuclear threshold to punish Pakistan.
The whole military infrastructure of Pakistan is geared towards short-term engagements with India. India needs to start viewing Pakistan as a peer competitor in these 3-to-5-day engagements and consider that Pakistan has access to advanced Chinese weapons that they’re keep to test against a fusion of Western + Indian weapons.
