00:48air combat story of the decade in a significant development has caught the attention defense
00:52analysts worldwide the pakistan air force pf has reportedly employed the chinese-made pl
00:5915e very long-range air-to-air missile in combat for first time this event was confirmed when indian
01:05authorities recovered debris from a pl 15 missile in hoshi arpur punjab amid what could be india's
01:12heaviest air losses since 1971 indian media released photographs of the missile fragments though the
01:19precise details of its deployment and trajectory remain under investigation the missile in question was
01:25identified as the pl 15e the export version of the pl 15 missile used by china the pl 15e has
01:33a declared
01:34maximum range of 145 kilometers compared to the 200 to 300 kilometers range of the pl 15 used by the

02:04approximately 45 to 50 j17 block three aircraft and 20 j10 ce's amounting to around 65 to 70 fighter jets
02:13capable of launching the pl 15e on april 26 2025 the paf released images of jf-17 block three aircraft
02:23armed
02:23with pl 10 and pl 15e missiles marking the first official confirmation of the jf-17 is capable of
02:30deploying such air-to-air missiles the jf-17 block 3 is fitted with the klj 7a asa radar despite
02:39this
02:39upgrade the jf-17's radar system is considered to have lower performance compared to that of the j 10c
02:45or india's rafili aircraft which are equipped with the fails rb 2asa radar due to the smaller diameter of
02:52the jf-17's nose cone estimated at approximately 360 millimeters its radar aperture is reduced possibly
03:01limiting the effective range of the pl 15e to an engagement range of 100 to 120 kilometers when launched
03:07from a jf-17 block three without external support from airborne early warning and control awnc aircraft
03:16for targeting data after launch india fields 36 rafali aircraft equipped with meteor missiles which have a
03:23longer range and enhance no escape zone capabilities due to their ramjet propulsion the indian air force
03:29also operate approximately 272 su 30 mki aircraft with our 77 missiles that have a nominal range of 110
03:39kilometers furthermore india's s-400 triumph surface-to-air missile systems provide additional
03:46air defense coverage with engagement ranges of up to 400 kilometers these capabilities contribute to a
03:53continued indian advantage in both numbers and systems integration the aerial clash between pakistan and
03:59india involving chinese-made pakistani j 10 fighter jets and french-made indian rafali jets
04:05has garnered significant global military interest reports suggest pakistan's j10 aircraft shot down
04:12at least two indian jets marking a notable milestone for china's advanced aviation technology experts said
04:19the live use of advanced weapons will be analyzed across the world including in china and the united states
04:24which are both preparing for potential conflict over taiwan or in the wider indo-pacific region the pl-15s
04:32range and performance have been a focus of western interest for years its emergence was seen as one of
04:37many signals that china had moved well beyond reliance on soviet-era derivative technology the confirmed use of
04:44the pl-15e missile by pakistan marks a significant development in aerial combat and has implications for regional and
04:51global military strategies as nations analyze the outcomes of this engagement the focus will be on
04:57understanding the capabilities and limitations of modern air-to-air missile systems and the
05:02platforms that deploy them thank you for joining us on positive post tv if you found this analysis
