Some light posturing by two nuclear states, that's what happened. Shows that every country should just get their own nukes and live happily ever after.
The conventional wisdom was that the Chinese fighters and missiles used by the Pakistanis were superior to the French Rafales and the missiles used by the Indian Air Force. This is not accurate. The Rafaeles are far superior to the Pakistani fighters. The problem was that the senior officers in the Indian Air Force did not take the Pakistani Air Force seriously. They were not expecting dogfights. The Indian planes were not even armed with their best air to air missiles..
