The planes were able to lock onto the targets, however at the last moment, Pakistani Weapon system Officers took their cursor off them.
This was confirmed by in-cockpit videos released by the PAF's operations directorate for the 6 September telecast which showed that the Airforce deliberately did not target the Indian Military sites despite having them in clear sight.
