They are also fitting out two Yuans and two 056A. Not sure if these Yuans are S26T for Thai Navy.

This confirms this shipyard is also building the SURTASS ships, as you typically see them in the Huangpu Shipyard.

Or at least it had the IAF panic buying Rafales and Meteor missiles because regardless of whether their plane was downed or not, their MKIs were completely outranged by PAF's AMRAAMs.

The Indian Rafale/Meteor deal was signed in 2016, so is completely unrelated to this skirmish (and it's worth reiterating that there is no credible evidence of any aircraft shot down beyond the Bison).

This has been discussed to death and back on a number of forums and the concensus is that an Indian Su30MKI was shot down by a PAF F16 equipped with AMRAAMS. As the evidence points to a steam pile of Su30MKI, then no you wont have that, but then by that logic nothing ever gets shot down. We have records of 2 mysterious deaths of Su30MKI pilots who somehow managed to drive into some trees at 3am in the morning in Srinigar, we have commentary from the Russian ambassador on poor deployments that lead to the loss of an Su30MKI, and we have the orders for "replacements for crashes of Su30MKIs" s to bring them back to full strength which is offset by an additional airframe, that is more than the "offical record of Su30MKI crashes"....
