1. Yes, all PL-15 were launched from J10C. Add the HQ-9 kill and we can say 15 missiles in total as per my guess.
2. 10 hits are confirm, including 8 kills and 2 damaged. Rest 3-4 may or may not have connected as the IAF fighters turned cold. We are not claiming them due to uncertainty and in my personal guess, 2 PL-15s were trashed.
3. All targets are fighters except 1 Heron.
4. All are separate targets.
5. No failure of PL-15 but the Amritsar package flew very professionally. There is no confirmed kill in that package and their defensive maneuvers were very good. So I think they turned cold in time to outrun the fired BVR.
6. Actual number is definitely more than 8 and even AVM Tariq Ghazi mentioned it in Marka e Haq briefing that there are multiple aircraft that were damaged and IAF has not been able to recover them yet.
7. Lastly, Abhijit Iyer Mitra said that the 2019 episode was repeated, implying the fratricide of Mi-17 over Srinagar. If that is true, 10-11 hits by PAF and 1-2 by friendly fire.
8. If IAF finally tells the whole story, I think at least one more Rafale and a MiG-29 will be added to the tally.
