its a scare tactic for youtubers, its indirect censorship. the message is clear 'dont visit pakistan, dont go on Yatra's, dont cover pakistan topics unless its negative' Or we will do this to you.
In the bloomberg interview their CDS essentially said that IAF was grounded for 2.5 days 'till they corrected their mistake' and flew again.IAF operations ceased after the shoot downs
Nuclear site in Pakistan was not actually targeted
Damages+procurement of more brahmos and scalps, since those are the things that worked the mostMore like 4.5 billion USD in damage?
Going on their wiki, they used to operate J6/F6's and J7's to J10s now.Even though this is really old news to us, this is I think the first time Pakistan Air Force directly disclosed that J-10C performed shoot down in social media. Other claims were from government officials.
Reportedly, this is the JF-17 Block-3 pilot from the 'Black Panther' unit who engaged and downed the Indian MiG-29 UPG on the night of May 6–7.

Hi,

JF-17 has no kills on any of the dates. All JF participants were for firing 400AKGs. MKI and Heron kills are attributed to HQ-9. The MKI was on a landing pattern (arguably after firing off the Brahmos), so was the MiG when they were brought down.Reportedly, this is the JF-17 Block-3 pilot from the 'Black Panther' unit who engaged and downed the Indian MiG-29 UPG on the night of May 6–7.

Steve coped hard with the IAF went into the fight unprepared. IAF send 72 fighters into the fight attacking less than 10 targets. It is obvious majority of the planes were there to protect the ones that actually carried out the ground attack.fyi, I had a podcast appearance with Steve Hsu on this subject and I think it's quite fascinating topic. Also wrt what he said regarding his Indian contact there.
