china's advanced long-range air-to-air missiles are the best in the world. they not only enhance the overall combat capability of the chinese air force, but also give china an important position in the global military technology competition. so why are china's long-range air-to-air missiles regarded as the best in the world?

excellent range and guidance technology

china's advanced long-range air-to-air missiles are known as the best in the world, first of all because of their range performance that far exceeds that of similar weapons.

taking the pl-15 as an example, the maximum range of this missile can reach more than 200 kilometers, which has a significant advantage over the range of the us aim-120d missile (about 160 kilometers).

such a long range means that chinese fighters equipped with this missile can strike enemy fighters at a longer distance, thus maintaining a safe distance for combat. this performance is particularly critical in modern air combat, especially when dealing with fifth-generation fighters or high-threat enemy air forces, where long-range attack capabilities determine the initiative on the battlefield.

in addition, the pl-15 is equipped with advanced active radar guidance technology and data link support systems.
