Oh please.Bro,
F16s > J10s ≥ JF17s
How did China defeated US BVR capability ? dude AIM120Ds is the best BVR missile in the world and let me know any PL10/PL15 hit ? none ,where as all the BVR hits as of now recorded in the world is of AMRAAM.
If we had J10s a decade back than it would had killed JF17s program and block 2 would had been its last block only.
Your justification of “All the recorded kills in the world are of AMRAAM”,
Please also check how many countries in the world operate US AMRAAM and then check the same for Chinese SD-10, PL-15 and PL-XX.
NONE !!
As for AIM-120D vs PL-15, Do let me know the range of both.
PL-15 range is rumored to be much Greater than 250Km while AIM-120D caps out below 200.
And even if by any chance PL-15 and AIM-120D are similar, Upcoming PL-XX beats the whole world off.
This is why USAF and Marines are concerned, China has got the edge and the superiority.
Hence the AIM-260 JTAM program to counter it
