IAF elint/signit ops across border? Flight radar analysis

All the hype of Indian ELINT OR SIGNIT jets crossing into Pak airspace and entering 100 kms inside collecting data as shown by FLIGHTRADAR doesnt look genuine to me. Will be honest, such missions are very critical and the platforms use have very powerful sensors, these normally move alonside the LOC or border and collect data, they do not fly into enemy airspace unprotected and collect data.

PAF is on high alert with constant CAP and awacs presence in airspace and SAM systems ready on ground to target any intrusion, in such scenario believing any intrusion that too 100 kms inside by an aircraft which is slow and big is not likely.

Even if i consider the use of  various anti detection measures and believe that the system was working such that it jammed pak air defences, the CAP aircraft would have rushed to the airspace ( be it blind) and detected or atleast tried attacking our platform.

Elint/SIGNIT aircraft inside enemy airspace at such times is highly unlikely and risky.

I see this reporting as a skeptical.

Also about flight radar and its tracking, it is done via multiple methods but once the aircraft goes blind at times the system takes into account the last known heading and factors to plot a map of possible flight path, it doesnt necessarily mean any intrusion or entry.

My bet is our jet stayed close to border and moved alongside, not into pak airspace. Kindly take osint with a truckload of salt
