Pakistanis were complaining to the chinese that their weapons were shit and it costed them dearly.I think it was a soft kill, which is why the missile landed intact. This is a significant achievement, as it will now be studied in detail to develop effective countermeasures. Chinese are likely furious with the Pakistanis over this blunder—their top-of-the-line air-to-air missiles is now in Indian hands.
Chinese reverse-engineered an American Tomahawk missile that landed in Vietnam—now, ironically, their crown jewel, their best air-to-air missiles, has fallen into Indian hands. perfect opportunity to uncover its weaknesses and gain insights that could help make India’s own air-to-air missiles even more lethal.Pakistanis were complaining to the chinese that their weapons were shit and it costed them dearly.
chinese told them they were too stupid to use them the weapons worked just fine. Beggars can't be choosy.
Tomwahawk was not an air to air missile. It was a cruise missile.Chinese reverse-engineered an American Tomahawk missile that landed in Vietnam—now, ironically, their crown jewel, their best air-to-air missiles, has fallen into Indian hands. perfect opportunity to uncover its weaknesses and gain insights that could help make India’s own air-to-air missiles even more lethal.
Astra MK2 has a range of 160km, PL-15E - 145km, PL-15 (not for export) - 200kmAfaik Indian equivalent should be astra mk2
Pl 15 is dual pulse rocket same as astra mk 2Astra MK2 has a range of 160km, PL-15E - 145km, PL-15 (not for export) - 200km
Astra MK3 range - 340km
The tomahawk was from afghanistan ; one landed unexploded they got it sent it toChinese reverse-engineered an American Tomahawk missile that landed in Vietnam
It failed to work . IT was all hype . The missile was on many other planes none ofI don't think we shot down a PL15 did we ? It was either a failed launch or shot down PAF aircraft.

I think the missile was jammed by an electronic warfare aircraft, which is likely why it landed intact without even detonating.It failed to work . IT was all hype . The missile was on many other planes none of
them achieved any military objective. Except attack religious places like GOLDEN TEMPLE.
Khalistanis take note.
In the event of an India-Pakistan war, Pakistan’s nuclear installations will be the first targets. risk of a nuclear exchange is zero—Pakistan is neither United States nor Russia, and it lacks the capability to fsafeguard its nuclear assets from Indian strikes. Launching a nuclear missile is not as simple as pressing a button.The India-Pakistan Conflict Is Testing the Threshold for Nuclear War

I think that the Pakistanis were so petrified of Indian air defenses and the S-400 that they were shooting from very long distances. I don't think the Chinese will be too happy about that.I think the missile was jammed by an electronic warfare aircraft, which is likely why it landed intact without even detonating.

They are the cheap counterfeit capital of the world and the weapons are exactly madeOne more reason why Chini were eager for the conflict to stop. The longer it dragged on, more Chini weapons would be uncovered as cheap copies dud.
Chinese military innovation are virtually zero. I don't really beleive they have genuine 5th gen fighter jet unless it's capabilities are demonstrated in battle.
US interest was preventing drowning more of their F16 and making sure Porkies nuclear bluff is not called for good.
It’s not feasible to keep nuclear missiles in a constant state of readiness—what if one is launched accidentally, or falls into the hands of non-state actors? what if someone manages to detonate it right at the launch site?many countries will advanced nuclear weapons programs do not keep their missiles
and warheads mated they are stored separately; not 1-2-3 ready to go they usually follow
a strict protocol. Most of the time they are stored in different locations.
no mature nuclear power does this ; it is a major clue that pakis MAY NOT HAVE NUKES.It’s not feasible to keep nuclear missiles in a constant state of readiness—what if one is launched accidentally, or falls into the hands of non-state actors? what if someone manages to detonate it right at the launch site?

When they make threats that their nukes are all stored in one place ready to go. No real
nuclear power acts like this.
