Outranging the West: How PL-15 Challenges AIM-120 Superiority

Описание: China’s combination of the J-20 stealth fighter and the PL-15 long-range missile has reshaped the conversation about air combat in the twenty-first century. This video examines how China is building a system designed to engage adversaries at distances that force Western aircraft to stay outside of effective range, shifting the balance in beyond-visual-range engagement. We analyze the technical performance of PL-15, its radar guidance, and its role in China’s broader military strategy. We also look at why the United States is developing AIM-260 as a direct response, and how these capabilities are transforming strategic planning in the Pacific.
