Pakistan’s PL-15 Missile Fails Miserably, China's Hype Crumbles as World's Focus Shifts to India’s Defence Prowess

International News: During the military confrontation between India and Pakistan from 6 to 10 May, Pakistan first used the modern PL-15E Air-TU-air missile manufactured in China. These missiles were fired with J-10C and JF-17 fighter jets. Fauting the attack, the Indian Air Force killed the missiles, with pieces in Hoshiarpur, Punjab.

Now this debris has become extremely important not only for India but also for "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance countries like America, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Apart from this, France and Japan have also requested India to share this debris so that they can analyze this missile technology of China deeply.

Why is PL-15 missile special?

The PL-15 missile is considered the most advanced system of China's air to air. This includes state-of-the-art techniques such as AESA Radar Sikar, Dual-Puls Motor and Two-Way Data Link. The missile has been prepared in a collision with the US AIM-12D and Europe's MBDA Meteor missiles. This technical debris for China's rival countries is like a strategic 'Treasure', allowing them to analyze Beijing's military capabilities.

This debris is particularly important for five eyes as it will help them understand China's guidance system, preparation, electronic warfare capabilities and air defense strategy. This can benefit in the preparation of possible conflicts with China in the future.

India became strategic partner

This opportunity is like a strategic benefit for India. On the one hand, he proved his military skills by thwarting the attack of Pakistan, on the other hand, exposed the technology of China and exposed it on the global stage. France, which sells state-of-the-art aircraft like Rafael to India, wants to ensure that its weapons remain impressive against the opponents equipped with Chinese technology.

What does PL-15 range and power say?

The missile has been developed by China's official aerospace company Avic. The range of its domestic version is stated to be 200–300 km, while the PL-15E version used by Pakistan can kill up to 145 km. This missile is capable of targeting enemy fighter aircraft, drones and airborne warning systems.

India's hand big strategic card

India has not only been successful in highlighting Pakistan's attack internationally after this incident, but has also played an important role in opening layers of China's defense technology. Five eyes and other countries are now looking towards India, making its geopolitical and intelligence strategic role further strengthening.
