Next Major Update - "Eagle's Shadow" Rumour Roundup & Discussion (Part 2)

Aim-424 isn’t in service yet and also outperformed by other Chinese missiles that are in fact in service

You what now? How would you know a “not in service” missile and therefor unknown performance is outperformed by in-service missiles which’ performance parameters are highly guarded?

Well we have to go by what the US states publicly about the missile no?

Lol officially the pl-15 gets mogged by ingame 120D, well PL-15E with 145km

In the files however gaijin gave it 200km

Heard about PL-17?

i mean, according to the lowest end initial public ranges, it can do well over 463km range, and its only two launch platforms are the F-35C and F/A-18E/F so that range is naturally going to be for them already.

J-20 cant carry it, even if it could like only 2 on outboard weapons stations

Guess i’d better book a flight to chengdu because pictures of this on the internet for Europe might as well be like finding classified specs of a US ICBM

Chinese aviation spectating in the west consists of waiting for a random grainy image to appear and analysing capabilities on that

I am 90% sure the PL-17 uses DF-4 pylon which the J-20 hasnt been sighted with

All marketing of the PL-17 has been in relation to J-16 and J-20

It literally hasnt been seen with it nor have the pylons seen with it, the j-20 could be unlucky placement for all we know

You are assuming which is stupid and just spreads missinfo…
