India Has Lost Air Superiority to Pakistan, No Jets Left to Fight

This would also show the role of the squadron and which weapon type will be fitted on the aircraft for that role.

I am not sure it goes into that much detail,, but the ORBAT section is very good too and they keep it very up to date. In my opinion it's the best open source site for air force fleet info

Asking an AI engine this: "Did Pakistan shoot down an Indian fighter jet during the 1999 Kargil War?" should bring up two Indians jets were downed (both were MiG fighter jets). India conceded one shot down by Pakistan and one downed due to 'mechanical failure". One of the pilots was killed while another repatriated by Pakistan.

Over A quarter century ago India didn't have any 'air superiority' and now the Pakistan Air Force is better placed vs India. And yet for some Indians to be surprised by Pakistan shooting down Indian jets during the 2025 conflict is incredible.

Yup 1999, 2019, 2025. Total of around 12 Indian jets made into recycled dustbins. No loss for PAF.

Utter clown show.

Indeed. And our resident Indian aviation experts assure us that the prevailing "rules of engagement" did not permit them to consider the possibility of aerial engagements.

How dare the Pakistanis defend their homeland when the mighty Indian air force attacks their country, it's not fair saar!

This is nothing new though. Back in the early 2000s when Musharaf was on his charm tour in india, I remember an interviewer asking him that india could attack so called "terrorist" sites in Pakistan...Mushi just looked at him in disbelief and said "I wouldn't be worth my salt as a soldier if I didn't slap you back"... This is the deranged narcissistic mentality we're dealing with...you see the parjeets on here high on cow dung copium.
