Strategy and how to use military equipments also play major role. Pakistan demonstrated that in their recent confrontation

Pakistan can withstand India with its military alliance with China and Pakistan

Withstand my a$$. Almost every single Paki airbase got hit. India provided sat images as proof.
Pak said they hit India at Adampur airbase. Saying they got S400 and the runway. Next day itself Modi visited Adampur airbase and debunked all Paki myths.

These GFP comparisons of who has how many tanks is just as irrelevant as who won the propaganda war. What matters is doctrine, training and execution. Equipment is only a part of the equation.

I don't need to tell who won or didn't win. The relevant authorities on both sides know exactly who won. The rest of the people can be made gullible fools, misdirected by the potential downing of a handful of fighter jets. But the authorities on both sides know how one side had total operational dominance and was actually able to hit targets with impunity.

Cherry on the top, Pak generously validated Indian weapon systems. Thereby giving an impetus to the Indian weapons industry. Now that our Armed Forces have seen Indian weapons be baptized by fire, they'll no longer be apprehensive of ordering from within India. Thanks to Pakistan.

Why was India calling for cease fire if your claim is true?

India could not handle her sophisticated weapons well. It is not about number

PAKISTAN
>Claims that jets on both sides didn't ingress into enemy airspace.
>Claims, that it shot down 6 enemy aircraft and states exact type of aircraft shot. Provides no real proof other than media "unnamed sources" and one single morphed photo of a single engine that may have been something else.
>Claims to have hit enemy airbase and destroyed enemy Air defence system, provides no actual proof (tried to provide doctored sat images, got fact checked by neutral satellite OSINT as well as, enemy. Enemy provides photo and video evidence that its airbase and air defense system is intact.
>Claims USA mediated a ceasefire agreement and thanks USA.
>Claims India begged USA for ceasefire.

INDIA
>Claims that jets on both sides didn't ingress into enemy airspace.
>Claims, that it may have shot down enemy aircraft but does not state exact type of aircraft shot by pointing to point 1 and how that means the wreckage feel into enemy territory and hence how kill can't be physically confirmed immediately.
>Claims to have hit almost every single one of the enemy airbases and destroyed many enemy Air defence radars, provides independently verifiable proof in form of before and after satellite photos. Enemy doesn't provide counter proof.
>Doesn't mention the words USA or Ceasefire. Claims there is no ceasefire, only a temporary stop of military activity which can and will be revoked the instant enemy tries to breach the understanding.
>Claims Pakistan DGMO called Indian DGMO begging for ceasefire.

These are based on the official statements of both sides. No media nonsense in these lines. Go check if you want. The intelligent can realize from these lines that which side had begged for a ceasefire. I don't need to tell anyone anything. The world knows.

It seems when CNN starts to say something, everybody else begins to re-echoe it. That is what happened in the Ukraine war that made many people to start looking down on the Russian military.
