There is something in the piloting community known as airmanship, and they live by it. The pilot who shot down the PN aircraft did not display an ounce of it. In any air force around the world, he would have lost the respect of his peers. There is a reason why that particular pilot's name is not included in the list of IAF heroes. Shooting down an un-armed plane during peacetime is nothing short of cowardly. Anyone who has seen me post before knows that I have deep respect for the IAF, as hard as it would be for many to believe, but this pilot is an exception.
Other than this shameful incident, I am not aware of any other time when the IAF acted in such way, so I give them the benefit of the doubt. PAF, on the other hand, has a good record of airmanship. We not only have spared IAF aircraft during peace time (and once during war) but even spared a Russian transport aircraft during the 1980s after it had crossed more than the designated 4KM threshold value as per PAF RoE at the time.
There is no need to provide any links, the deniers will continue to deny. Also, I would appreciate it if you could resist engaging with trolls on this thread.
