Use of cruise missiles means India climbed the escalation ladder very quickly, and used BrahMos which is nuke capable.
How the Extended Range BrahMos Changes the India-Pakistan Deterrence Equation
The new range will bring distant targets within range of the BrahMos, as well as enhance Indian precision strike capabilities.

BrahMos is purely conventional. It isn't used by SFC. Yes it "can" carry nuclear warhead, but so can almost any missile.Use of cruise missiles means India climbed the escalation ladder very quickly, and used BrahMos which is nuke capable.

These missiles don't broadcast identifiers of who and what they are, unlike airplanes. Pakistan could not tell if the incoming missiles are conventional or nuke, hence the possibility of a nuke response was there and why India using cruise missile so early was very risky and likely done in panic.BrahMos is purely conventional.

Yeah, this is what Pravin Swahney was saying as well, and that next time Pakistan will be prepared. I do think Pakistan has the quality of missiles to effectively pierce BMD. The quantity is another matter.

It was limited war within limitation of use of weapons and destructions scale. Pakistan officially said if utilized less than 10% of our capabilities.
However, both sides learnt their edge as well as weak points .
Now, both are trying to fill that gap for next round.

It seems like Pakistan wasn't really prepared for a conventional missile lobbing match because all our arsenal apart from very recently inducted Fatah is nuclear capable under the SFC.
Even our Raads and Baburs. Probably why they used Fatah 1s and air launched CM-400s.

While you can't really trust India's words, it does have a no first-use policy. And it would be quite embarrassing for a larger power to have to go nuclear against a smaller state because it couldn't keep up conventionally.
I personally do not think India would go nuclear first, but at the same time I wouldn't be so sure about it because it's an extremely insecure and reactive country under the Hindutva ideology.
