Yes, F-16 is bound by US terms of sale. Pakis are supposed to secure permission from the US to use F-16s in a military engagement (similar terms to Indian Navy's use of the Austin-class INS Jalashwa). The US would never approve of their use in a situation like this. As for enforcement, the US has its ways to enforce. One moment paki formations are all the sky, and the next moment the planes start dropping like flies.
Pakistan would only defend incoming retaliation with F-16s, before going on the attack with formation JF-17 and chinese jets

Frankly, thats wrong attitude.

We are always playing defense & this type of thinking is unsettling.
Unlechs of cousrse, it's a diversion
this aversion to take action will give out an impression to the world that maybe India is not a worthy military power in itself, which is good news for many including India’s “friends”.

if PLA do not go on the offensive now, doesn’t it mean that their objectives have been met?
All out offensive vs local skirmish. Local skirmish may not be ruled out.

There would be clashes and face-offs owing to the tensions at the Galwan Valley and Pangong Tso.

And what exactly were there objectives ?
All of us are scratching our heads to decipher precisely that point isn’t it? To guess the real motive behind PLA’s moves since may.

they haven’t declared any, but they indeed used this opportunity to solidify their current positions at LAC.
