The long range nature of this fight does implies high altitude, high speed throws though. Either Indian's situation awareness is so bad that they don't even know they're being locked or all their defensive measures failed

India attacked several *civillian* targets in Pakistan, including a religious site, which it unilaterally designated as "terrorist camps", it targeted a hydro-electric dam project, and killed several civillians including children, in several Pakistani cities.
Beyond the success in the air, it makes complete sense that Pakistan will have to respond by striking ground targets inside India to fully establish a deterrence. The above can't be simply let go.
Well, don't buy overpriced french planes, what can I say.
Its Indian account pretending to be right wing Polish.
Price is not comparable as deals include different stuff like maintenance, training, etc.
No one would buy Rafael for 250m off the shelf and I'm pretty sure France don't pay that much for it.
125M is the result after a quick google. Still impressive that it's more expensive than F35.
That's the point.
You have to be really blind to miss planes doing those launch maneuvers - planes don't appear at M=1.5 out of thin blue.
Given high altitude nature of the theater, I personally incline towards ambush using favorable geography, and, likely, sufficient warning on the strike.
Not sure if it's real, but it's hilarious.
Makes me wonder if the Indians attempted to use their A-50I's at all or were too risk averse for that, hence the result.
Martin Baker ejection metric showing a 4 point increase. If we take into account the Super Hornet that didn't land on Truman, that's 2* ejections "unaccounted for".
*edited: reduced 3 into 2 it was a dual ejection for the hornet

Your theory would only makes sense if PAF planes went beyond the border and ambush IAF at short range with minimal warning. I really doubt this is the case.
Edit: Also terrain in Kashmir does make such tactic possible, but southern Punjab border is pretty flat
