It is confirmed: The new Chinese PL15 long-range air-to -air missile with marh6 speed and 500km range will be fitted onto the J-20.
On the CCTV4 《中国舆论场》20161204 program, when asked by the pilots from the PLA Aviation School whether the PL15 will be fitted on to the J-20, the PLA General Yinzhuo replied yes repeatedly. He said the PL-15 is aimed to take out high value targets like surveillance/aerial refueling/bomber.
Watch from 46:50
Also from 20:08, the air force personal Mr. Du Wenlong said: the numbers of the J-20 to be deployed by the PLA will be much more than the numbers of 42 of F-35 for Japan.
Some PDF members claimed that these two military pundits are less knowledgeable than Deino when it comes to the PLAAF, and they are just some rambling entertainers.
Get real, these guys look possessed like many zealous cultists from the CD forum by keep repeating that "J-20 must use AL-31, otherwise you are just a delusional fanboy!".
