Chinese Missiles News & Discussions

Successor to HQ-9.

A missile possesses lateral jets and aerodynamic surfaces.

Do we know if this new interceptor is related to (or the same as) the HQ-26? Is the HQ-26 the same as the missile in the following photo?

I don't think so

China's Poly Defense Company offered the GAM-10X series of rockets:

- The GAM-100 is capable of penetrating 800 mm with a range of 2500 meters
- GAM-101A / B for UAV with 1000 mm penetration capacity
- The GAM-102 is capable of penetrating 1000 mm with a range of 4000 meters

The missile can be guided by infrared so that it can hit the target either from the top or hit it directly.

According to Xi Yazhou, a famous blogger on military news, the huge size long range anti-air missile you saw carried by possibly J-16, has a maximum range of 700 km instead of 400 km:

Dont know how creditable this is.

Maybe the radar of the J-20 can do it.

@UKBengali something new for you.

Impossible, considering the curve of earth.

The only way I can think about is to have UAV detecting network, communicating and and data-linking through satelliates to the platforms carrying such missiles.

Basically means it works like a inter-connected system.

At least I was hoping that the J-20 can do it alone without the help from the AEW&C aircraft.

In addition the type 055, 052D and other ships with powerful enough radars and network warfare capability could be utilised to track and target planes and guide the missile. This will provide quite a strong synergy between naval and aerial platforms.

If such an missile is used in theoretical battle in North Eastern India 055 destroyer(s) can operate in the bay of Bengal tracking and targeting planes in the entire north east plus a few other surrounding states. The 700 km missile range is sufficient to cover the distance from Chinese-Indian border to bay of Bengal. J-16 can takeoff from bases in Tibet, Yunnan, Sichuan, and Qinghai reach attitude and speed then fire the missile when close to the border at a target hundreds of km away all under the cover of the Himalayas or peek over temporarily, not having to cross the Chinese-Indian border and return to base. This will give the non-stealthy J-16 effective stealth with the cover of the Himalayas or at least reduce radar exposure. J-16s patrolling in Tibetan plateau during high alert can provide continuous instant launch ability, without having to be scrambled when an enemy plane is spotted, giving them time to flee. This could be done in conjunction with UAV swarm operating from bases within China in the north and 055 in the south. Any planes taking off from the north east and a few surrounding states would be potential targets. It is a possible way of achieving air superiority without having to send fighters over Indian airspace at the start of operations. This is a viable strategy if there is a naval presence in the Bay of Bengal.

These missiles are still in expermential stage, so they are not useful in the coming war with india, but China has more than enough arsenal to overpower india anyway.

PL15 with 180KM range can knock down any Barat fighter easily.

Nooooo....India will tell you they have BRAHMOSSSSSSSSSSS. BRAHMOSSSS can kill anything.

Images have emerged on Chinese online military forums showing a People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation (CAC) J-10C combat aircraft armed with what appears to be a new beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM).

The fighter was photographed carrying two PL-10 short-range AAMs on its outer underwing pylons and two of the new missiles on its mid-underwing pylons.

Although nomenclature is uncertain as no official information is forthcoming, it is likely that the new missile is the one being referred to unofficially as the PL-15, with its appearance on the underwing pylons of a J-10C possibly reflecting that it is now in service.

The missile is estimated to be around 3.7 m long, with a diameter of 200 mm. It is fitted with low aspect ratio aerodynamic stabilising surfaces (trapezoidal wings) on its mid-section and at the moveable control surfaces (clipped delta fins) at its tail.

The respective surface spans approximately 390 mm and 515 mm. There is no visible evidence of a thrust vectoring control (TVC) system present at the rear of the new missile, as can clearly be seen on the PL-10, so control appears to be aerodynamic only. Additionally, there are no air intakes that would be necessary if propulsion was provided by a ramjet, so it can be assumed that a standard form rocket motor is being used.

Photographs of a similar missile carried by a Shenyang Aircraft Corporation J-16 emerged in 2012, which is thought to be undergoing development trials. Like the recent sighting, the missile’s aerodynamic surfaces are the same low aspect ratio planform, which facilitates loading in the internal weapons bay of the CAC J-20 'fifth-generation' fighter.

PL15 uses dual pulse solid rocket engine same as AIM-120D, the ramjet design had been scrapped due to its natural born flaw.
