Easy enough to explain: India has cheaped out and used antique MiG-21s when the Pakistanis have invested in the considerably more capable F-16. The Indian MiG was downed using a US AIM-120 AMRAAM missile (in violation of the end-user agreement between the US and Pakistan).
The IAF didn't have a chance and should have known that before taking off.
The bad news is that Pakistan has almost certainly shared our AMRAAM technology with the Chinese.

"The bad news is that Pakistan has almost certainly shared our AMRAAM technology with the Chinese." Bill and Hillary sold that to the commies years ago...

How much of this technological advantage did we gift to Pakistan?

They must have thought that Pakistan’s main fighter was an unmodified F4.
