Pakistan is really good at handling relationships! The Air Marshal of the Pakistan Air Force stated that the Rafale fighter jets are excellent aircraft, it's just that the Indians don't operate them well. The S-400 air defense missile system is very powerful, but the Indians only focused on the aircraft in the sky and didn't pay attention to the missiles.
This is really how Pakistan handles relationships, giving France and Russia a way out. It's not that their weapons are bad, it's just that the Indians are not up to par. This way, it doesn't cut off the hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue for Russia and France each year.
Moreover, Croatia, Egypt, Indonesia, UAE, Greece, Qatar, Serbia have all ordered Rafale fighter jets, while Algeria, Iran and other countries have ordered S-400 missiles. Pakistan dares not offend so many countries and still needs to do business to make money!
In the situation where the fundamentals are weak, Pakistan did not launch a large-scale war to strike India. Pakistan's stance in this conflict was relatively restrained and did not launch large-scale retaliatory attacks on Indian targets by firing missiles.
This brief Indo-Pakistani conflict will definitely be recorded in history as a model of modern warfare. It has given the world a concrete experience of the entire system's beyond-visual-range operations.
