PL-15 is no joke and this is a big deal, its the most advanced air to air missile in the world. No other country, maybe USA has a missile like this because its built for 5th gen fighters.

China may have done this because of Indian airforce aggression in Pakistan but it is big news. There will be a huge gap in air-air engagements and India is probably going to beg Russia now to sell them their latest 5th gen air-air missile, but they have not made it available for export yet.

Not sure if this is compatible with JF-17 block II without AWAC support as PL-15 uses AESA radar and not even JF 17 has AESA yet. So this is probably going to be used in JF-17 Block 3, which means Block 3 will probably be ready soon. Also it may be a signal that Pakistan is looking to acquire JF20 5th gen stealth fighters for which this missile is made.

Yes its air-air, they didnt mention the name of the missile so I confused it with PL-15 which is much anticipated in PAF right now. Pakistan has many Air-Surface Missiles, I wonder whats special about this one.

i think the kind of blast and area of shock wave it created tht is the thing they want to convey to adversaries. Seem some kind of pakistani version of MOAB

I think we already have AESA radar, ISRP Told them we'll surprise you big time. I think a few Block-Three already in operation which actually has surprised the whole world specially the SU30.
The message is clear "We'll surprise you".
I humbly welcome Made-in-Pakistan Long Range Rafael killer to our squads.
