A top US Air Force (USAF) general says that Lockheed Martin F-35s have had at least one encounter with Chengdu J-20s, and that the Shaanxi KJ-500 airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft has a key role in long-range air-to-air kill chains.

Difference between professional air force service man of the world's most powerful air force and BS AMRAAM dodger general who claims that Sukhois could spot J-20 from "kilometers away" is vast indeed.

Honestly the Indians don't know when to stop, every time I think, alright, maybe they have a limit to their claims, they always break past that limit

And their population actually eats it up

Same 'RAPTOR of the East' couldn't fire a single shot against PESA equipped F16s .

Can't imagine what would happen to them when both j10c and jf17 got AESA's along with pl15s.

Worth noting that even though PL-15 was advertised to have a 145km range, Americans believe that the actual range should be 200+km.

Not PL-15, PL-15e is advertised as 145km range missile.
Real range of PL-15 is classified but 200km is a educated guess.

Based on a research paper on dual-pulse rocket motor and how it affects missile range, the maximum range of a missile suspected to be PL-15 against non-maneuvering, fighter sized aircraft traveling at Mach 0.9 at 10KM (missile launched at 1.2 Mach) is 182 KM.

The missile in the article is AIM-120D....the writer just use it as a typical mid-range AAM

My bad. Guess true range of PL-15 remains a mystery. But you can use it to extrapolate PL-15’s performance.

Yes,from the article we can know that dual-pulse rocket motor can enhance the range of the missile effectively.
