Fcuk and don't troll PL-15 is not AWACS killer missile the other one (unnamed PL-XX) that test on J-16 is AWACS killer missiles not PL-15 @God Parshuram , its is in same class as AMRAAM C-7 (AIM-120D) with a range of 150 -200 km, have a look @God ParshuramIt just has a very low G value. it is good August a k AWACS big planes add littles totally useless against fighter jets. India just tested similar missile with Mach 6 speed and range of around 400 kilometres but we call it a w a c s killer and not and Ultra long range missile to be used against fighter jet.
PL-15 on J-10
PL-XX with a range of 400 km on J-16
@God Parshuram PL-XX with a range of 400 km on J-16
Bro you're wrong about that there was 2 BVRs in history that have a range of almost 200 km with rocket motors, First one AIM-154 with range of 190 Km with dual pulse rocket motor for F-14 and other one is its rival R-33 with a same range and improved R-33S has a range of 300 km for Mig-31BM, there were few projects of extreme range BVR by Russia/Soviet Union like R-37 Arrow/K-172 all those BVR using dual pulse rocket motor @war&peacePL15 is definitely powered by a ramjet. No rocket motor can provide such a long range (200+ km) to any A2A of this size. Or it will be too big and too heavy that only a heavy fighter like SU35 may be able to carry one.
