It's not anyone's guess. A broader war was already in progress with India's "pin point " strikes, and satellite imagery proven "destruction" of Pakistan's air bases.How a broader war would've looked like is anyone's guess. That's why we have war games for.
So if India was winning with "pin point " strikes, why didn't it continue with a "broader " war? Why quit when winning?
Or was that "maturity and restraint " because Pakistan "begged" for a ceasefire.
Are we summing up India's narrative correctly as above?
Is that narrative accepted as correct by India's so-called ally, Russia and Israel? The funny part is Israel didn't stand by India and contradict the statement by the US President on how the ceasefire between India and Pakistan happened.
The Israeli press had a different take on it. It seems to support Pakistan's claim of downing Indian fighter aircraft.
Rumor of war: Did Pakistan manage to down India's fighter jet?
Intense fighting between India and Pakistan erupted during the night hours from Tuesday to Wednesday when the Indian Air Force attacked at least nine

Extract from the article above:
(Ironically from India's ally )
" Experts have identified fragments of a French-manufactured MICA missile in the videos of the aircraft wreckage. This air-to-air missile is used by "Rafale" jets, the most advanced fighter aircraft in the Indian Air Force arsenal, which India purchased from France in a massive deal in 2022. The Rafale is renowned for its exceptionally high maneuverability and advanced systems that enable early detection of battlefield threats.
While experts note that the missile found at the crash site could also be compatible with the Mirage 2000, another French-manufactured fighter aircraft in service with the Indian Air Force, the crash location provides additional evidence. The incident occurred near the base of Squadron "Netra" number 17, which specifically operates Rafale aircraft, strongly suggesting that the advanced jet was indeed the one brought down."
