the pakistani intelligence services murdered 166 people, including americans, in 2008 and nothing happened

so no

Some heavy diplomatic work by State and millions of dollars worth of bribes went into keeping that from going full-nuclear.

I'm sure the Pakistanis are weighing a retaliation but they have to find a target that's relatively deep in India which they can hit but not cause too many deaths. And they have to get in and out without any of their guys getting smoked. A really tall order.

India still flies MIG-21's? Those things are ancient.

They still had about ~250 of them as of 2013, though they're supposed to be rather unsafe to fly these days because of their age.

Even with modern avionics I wouldn't relish the idea of going up against an F-16 in a MIG that's easily older than the pilot flying it.

A fighter jet is just a glorified missile platform. All they have to do is get a target lock and let it fly to do their job. Using ancient Soviet jets is a cost effective solution for developing countries. Obviously that changes if the Migs start falling apart, but that's what ejector seats are for.

A quick glance at wiki shows that India lost literally half of the 21's that they built from 1966-80 to crashes. The plane has something of a reputation as a widowmaker and they're supposed to be phased out by the end of this year.

Any indication India is going to swing at the Chinese administered portion of Kashmir? Is the BJP that hopped up on Brahmin Supremacy fascism?

Modi's never struck me as suicidal.
