Day 1 was restricted ROE, to only target "terror infra" inside pak as not to be too escalatory.
Due to restricted roe PAF had the privilege of firing first shot.

I find it puzzling why they are not prioritizing the acquisition of Netra Mk-1A more urgently. We can operationalised all 6 AEW&C aircraft in next 2-3 years easily. A321 based Mk2 will take 5-7 years to mature. It feels more like incompetence at all levels.
My guess is ERJ-145 airframes are hard to come by on the used market despite the total numbers of airframes that have been produced.
That is never the case in American civil market. There will always be someone ready to sell for a good price.
GoI don't have to buy the airframe themselves, they can just pay Embraer for the whole. They will have to overhaul and customise anyway.
Embraer Aircraft, Drones: Big-Ticket Defence Buys on Agenda at Rajnath Singh-Led DAC Next Meet

While the acquisition of six Embraers from Brazil is already a done deal (the request for purchase or RFP, already in the process), there are changes in the paperwork that require DAC clearance. These are used planes and on them will be fitted the Netra, the airborne warning and control system, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation).
India already has three, but the IAF needs six more, keeping in mind India's long borders, and the first will arrive in three-four years.
Me the day AMCA does first flight.I really hope this is true.
