Basically demonstrated the point that if you buy this platform from one country and that platform from a different country and do a piss poor job of integrating it, you only have aircrafts and not an air force.

If you actually want to buy an air force you either need to get good at integrating platforms yourself (a skill that few countries have) or buy an entire ecosystem from one country who's already done the integration for you. How many countries sell AEW&C + fighters together?

Pakistan-India fighter jet “dog fight” was one of largest and longest in recent aviation history, source says​

From CNN’s Nic Robertson in Islamabad

The “dog fight” between Pakistani and Indian fighter jets, which Pakistani officials say downed five Indian planes, was one of the “largest and longest in recent aviation history,” a senior Pakistani security source told CNN.

A total of 125 fighter jets battled for over an hour, with neither side leaving its own airspace, according to the source who detailed that the missile exchanges were happening at distances sometimes greater than 160 kilometers (100 miles).

Neither side was prepared to send their pilots over the border because of a much smaller dogfight in 2019. An Indian air force pilot was shot down on Pakistani territory and paraded on TV before being returned to India. A humiliation, he said, neither side wanted this time.

At times, the Indian air force had to take multiple runs at targets, according to the source. Pakistan did its best to warn civilians in areas it believed to be potential targets, the source said, and that the military was able to minimize civilian casualties.

As I suspected those Indian "air defense missiles" seemed WAY to slow, and those explosions seemed too high up to be cruise missiles. HQ-9P at work on ballistics showing chinese BMD is no joke as I suspected.

I'm ngl but I don't think HQ-9P is even rated as a proper BMD and is also based off the legacy HQ-9 and not the HQ-9B that PLA uses.
