PAF J-10C News, Updates and Discussion

I don't know why people still believe that the PL-15 and PL-15E have different performance. Anyone who knows anything about missiles will know that range figures are useless.
well, because objectively they do, the PL-15E is a 'clean' version for export, downgraded vs the original. This is not new, Russia and the Soviets do and did this all the time

Not exactly - range figures aren’t useless but not cut in stone. Multiple variables set at a control value contribute to that Range figure but it is a verified figure for those control variables.

Whether any missiles are ever fired at those control values is a different debate and likely never are but that doesn’t mean those range figures aren’t valid for those exact control values.

The differences within the PL-15 standard and E isn’t just about ranges but motor type which contributes a lot of constants to which the differences in range variables can lead to different results.
Be it off the rail acceleration or burn time which can make a difference in every range scenario they would encounter

Mirages don't have capable enough radars to utilize PL-15 to its full extent, so why bother, even PL-12 would be more than enough, and there has been talk of integrating Turkish missiles with them.
