Chinese Air-To-Air missiles, History, Performance & Discussion

I don’t know why Gaijin doesn’t recognize this image

first photo looks like an inert dummy, while the last one is a shafrir 2, gaijin prefers written text as a srouce anyway

Well there is near none, and they are all classified anyways.

I don’t know PL-8A with IRCCM from PL-8B or no IRCCM like PL-8

Now PL-5E II from dev server on JF-17A & J-10A

PLAAF integrated PL-8B on J-7E like J-7G ?

I read an article that claimed J-7E was the first J-7 which didn’t need a counterweight to mount pythons. Also PL-8A is likely just a rename of PL-8 when the B version was introduced

You need to mention the book or the source’s name and other details

Bro, you’re out of time.

J7E’s capability to carry PL8s are thought through at the design stage, J7E was integrated with PL8 right from the start and PL8B should be about the same. J7G wise I have little knowledge on how they actually integrated it.

It had PL-8 from the beginning. You can see pictures of prototype J-7Gs with PL-8.

As in I don’t know of the process of integration, J7E project is somewhat a last try to update the J7II so in mid 2000s without radar is a bit…

PL-5E II for domestic chinese aircraft only or both export other operators and domestic chinese aircraft ? 🤔

Now I’m wondering PL-5E II

Both domestic and export

Sadly, I don’t know Chengdu J-7E & Shenyang J-8F armed PL-5E II in PLAAF service or PL-5E II for export operators aircraft only

But I hope gajin add PL-8B for 4 aircraft this month

  • Chengdu J-7E
  • Chengdu J-10A
  • Shenyang J-8F
  • Xian JH-7A

The only thing holding the j7e at its br is its missiles. If it got pl8b’s it would go to like 12.7.

Yea, I don’t think the J7E should get the PL8B, for the sake of the plane. It still has the Mig 21 engines.

PL-5C should be enough for it.

I might believe gaijin no problem add PL-8B on Chengdu J-10A and Shenyang J-8F this month

Change Air-to-Air weapon

I don’t worry gaijin change BR to 12.0 and located between J-8B & J-8F

2x PL-5B and 4x PL-5B replace with PL-5C or PL-5E

PL-8 instead 2x PL-2 because PL-2 very outdated for J-7E

Maybe PL5C and go 11.7 since so many people are complaining it should be 11.3 anyways. J7G could be fun as well if we really separate the techtree by 沈飞and成飞

Or PL-5E stock instead 2x PL-5B and PL-2 replace with PL-8 on J-7E

BR 12.0, my guess

For J-7G, 2x PL-5E II stock and 4x PL-8 & 4x PL-8B

I guess J-7G BR 12.3
