PL15E is probly shot from a J10C at high energy, since the DLZ of AAM is severly affected by its platform, 50k feet alt & MA 1.5 could easily double the NEZ, JF17 is not an appropriate choice for such situation.
We don't know anything about aerial picture yet, too early to guess.

Significant one-sided losses usually point more towards successful ambush, not high altitude, high speed throws

suggests that at least two or three airframes — possibly all IAF — were lost on the Indian side of the border last night.

Some perhaps especially interesting passages from said report:

But evidence was also growing that the Indian forces may have taken heavy losses during the operation. At least two aircraft were said to have gone down in India and the Indian-controlled side of Kashmir, according to three officials, local news reports, and accounts of witnesses who had seen the debris of two.

One Indian official confirmed the crash of three aircraft, but cautioned that the reasons were not clear. Two other Indian security officials confirmed reports that some Indian aircraft had gone down, but would not elaborate on the details. They all spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details of military action.

This NYT report is obviously "far from final," but this sort of reporting from major US papers of record like the NYT, WSJ and WaPo do often tend to echo official USG perspectives.
