PL-15 Missile: China's "AWACS Killer" | The Weapon Redefining Air Power

Описание: Discover the PL-15, the revolutionary long-range missile changing the rules of air combat. Why is it considered one of the most dangerous air-to-air missiles in the world?
The PL-15 is a long-range, air-to-air missile mounted on China's stealth fighters. It has an estimated range of over 200 to 300 kilometers, distinguishing it from other missiles. It is designed to target, hunt, and destroy high-value assets like AWACS, which are the "eyes, ears, and fuel" of an opposing force, long before they are in visual range.
Two key technologies contribute to its capabilities: a sophisticated Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar seeker that is highly resistant to jamming, and a dual-pulse rocket motor. Unlike older missiles, the dual-pulse motor allows it to re-ignite in the final phase of flight, providing a terminal speed burst that makes it incredibly difficult to evade.
The introduction of the PL-15 created a "missile gap" and has been a primary driver for the United States to accelerate its own next-generation missile program to catch up. The video concludes by stating that the PL-15 has permanently changed the calculus of air power.
