Fighter planes today are not those NOSE DIVERS of WW2 vinatge that dropped there bombs andt 2000-1500 feet and then left rather they drop glide bombs and anty bumker or anty runway bombs from STANDOFF ranges with just with a metere and half accurate to the target
not every mission uses a Scalp or bhromse its only for very very important and difficult target like main command and control bunker or main missile complex or some vital instalation of core value but glide bombs like GAURAV or SAAW or LGBs & PGMs like PAVEWAY II , GRIFFIN, Hammer Spice are the main force used by most fighters of IAF for clinical strike like Sepecat Jaguars , Mirage2000, Mig29 or Su30MKI or LCA or Dassault Rafale and these LGBs and PGMs carry thrice explosives than Bhramose or Scalp or KH-59 but cost less than 1/10th
and in this opration legacy Artilary was not even used as of yet only Carl Gustav's and 80mm &120mm mortars that too in limited area on LOC or the indian Air Defnce assets like SPYDER, AKAASH , BARAK-8, MR & LR and AAD-PAD & S400 in some casses
so the POINT IS IAF FINALLY Banged the NEUCLEAR BLUFF Pakistani estblishment and media since 1998 and when things seemd to be going into spiral USA Jumped in and brokerrd a CEASEFIRE ON INDIAN TERMS
and Pakistani was playing a diversionarry TRUCK KI BATTI and celbrating the bombing of all its Major Air Basses and terror training factories is celbrating Victory even after loss of most of its vital arial instalation and fighter aircraft and so called startegic assets
