Chinese were reluctant to sold it first becuase of their own need, its an excellent news that now they have given it to Pakistan....

Make sure they are presentable too. Their spent fragments may end up at a press conference

Pl 15 does not use ramjet propulsion rather uses dual pulse rocket motor.
And i doubt if the current klj7 radar is capable of
handling pl15 I maybe wrong though

Speaking to Sputnik 27 Kanuary 2017, Kashin noted that the PL-15 test images have been repeatedly circulated on the Internet, adding that its mockup was also demonstrated at China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai. Being more than six meters long the new rocket is believed to be a potential replacement for China's current main air-to-air weapon PL-12, an active radar-guided beyond-visual-range missile.

However, while the PL-12 has a range of approximately 100 kilometers, the P-15 is reportedly capable of destroying targets at a distance of 300km or even 400km, Kashin pointed out. The Russian military expert remarked that the PL-12 missile was developed by the People's Republic of China in the late 1990s — early 2000s with the assistance of Russia's manufactures and extensive use of Russian components including an active radar homing head. However, it is not clear whether or not Russian specialists were engaged in further refinement of long-range missiles in China.

Did not it requires a 300 km radar to fire a long 300km range BVR ????

Chinese are still reluctant.

Unless you have a datalink
----------------

Could be an effective AWACS killer

 

[Fawadqasim1]

The news are highly unreliable please don't jump the gun

 

[GumNaam]

If true, then indian air farts needs to stay 300km away now! major set back for modi's air farts...

Maybe Chinese wants to test its new missile in actual combat theater and what better way than to give it to Pakistan who is actually in a state of undeclared war with Indians and have shot down two of their planes using JF-17 and SD-10.

Sir with due respect how can you people believe the news of such sources without critically analysing it.

 

[pkd]

Perhaps they could be guided by AWACS

Which is why i used the word "Maybe" which refers to as
"a mere possibility or probability".
Please read carefully.
