From the Warnes article, my hunch is PAF may realise details of more Rafale kills soon
"The Rafale is potent enough, and while we initially declared we had shot down three, BS001 [17 Sqn], BS022, BS027 [both 101 Sqn], we also had it confirmed by HUMINT [human intelligence] in mid-July that BS021 [from 101 Sqn] had been confirmed as shot down, over Srinagar.” The author understands another four aircraft have not returned to the flightline. The PAF has their tail numbers, because they know from their electronic intelligence the jets that were badly damaged. They are endeavouring to confirm from OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence/HUMINT – often spies on the ground)."
