Hmm, interesting! I didn't know this (i.e. the Paki side thing).

I strongly hope that you are wrong. India should be very glad to stay the hell out of all these stupid middle-Eastern wars.

IMO the chances are very low, but not zero.

This also brings us back to our own " blue-on-blue" downing of an MI-17 during the Doklam spat... Similarly during the Doklam spat, the IAF were fighting off a Pak air attack in depth and key defence sites in Srinagar were the target. No, not during the Doklam spat, during the Balakot spa...

What happened of the reports 3-4 months back that government is mulling purchase of additional 36 Rafale ? All reports about buying Rafale/F16/F18/Su35 etc are always speculation.

I believe LDev is right about the trust level that now exists between India and the US. I would not be surprised to see the F-18 win the naval fighter contest.

My memory is a little hazy on this, but I seem to remember either Rajnath Singh or Nirmalaji in a post-Balakot press conference making a veiled reference to "three targets were struck". To me that means "Balakot and two others". But I can't be certain I'm remembering this correct...

A shoot down by a Mig 21 is bad PR for LM F-16 Bingo!! That's it, the sum total of all the bullsh!t and lies coming from American sources.
