PAF chief and NAVAL chief were against Musharraf and wanted to inform NAWAZ who was kept under the impression that they are winning,1. They didn't engage IAF because their spares (F16) were in short supply ( due to ongoing US sanction on them)
2. PAF unlike PA believed if IA failed to dislodge PA/irregulars from heights, India will open second front in Punjab. Like 1965. Then those spares will be used.
3. IAF Mig 29 had BVR capability in 1999. Check if F16 had them in 1999.
4. It is a known thing that PA was furious on PAF for not providing air cover/support over Kargil and supply lines.
So, partially you are correct and I believe the other poster is also correct.
The defence secretary of pak and ISI were in tangent with the Musharraf as it was his plan,
Musharraf didn't agree to salute Vajpayee when he did bus diplomacy
and it was his plan to sabotage the bonhomie,
everone question Musharraf what are the objectives they going to achieve out of kargil? as it jeopardized the security of whole nation of Pakistan,
and yes PAF chief categorically told that he was not taken into confidence and what was the assurance that India will not use other front this things were not thought of and that was the reason they just helped in there air space of PAK.
