Just for your information, many BrahMos missiles were launched by the Indian Air Force itself.
This is part of modern warfare doctrine. As I mentioned earlier, the PAF had little to show beyond the first day; in the following days, there was almost no meaningful activity, apart from claims of operating and securing own airspace.
This is because air warfare today is not the same as it was in the early 1990s, when forces directly penetrated enemy airspace to destroy critical installations.
Defense technology has changed significantly, and at present, only 5th-generation fighters provide such advantages in heavily contested environments.
In today’s conflicts, the most important factors are how well a country can secure its critical installations and bases, and how effectively it can neutralize enemy assets. If these objectives are not achieved, an air force will make little to no difference as the war progresses, eventually becoming highly vulnerable or being pushed into extremely high-risk missions.
Anyway! I am wasting my time here. Enjoy your posts in the thread; most likely I will not respond to any. Thanks
