This is a detailed analysis of how J-10C outperforms the Indian Air Force. It involves J-10C acting as a carrier for launching PL-15 long-range air-to-air missiles, firing them and then retreating without giving the Indian military aircraft any chance to detect it. The guidance of PL-15 is completed by the early warning aircraft, which actually serves as the target illumination radar for PL-15. This tactic enables early detection and early engagement, being simple, brutal, yet highly effective. Future air combat models seem to be overturned. As long as the air-to-air missiles have sufficient range and the early warning aircraft radar has enough power, hitting targets at four or five hundred kilometers should not be a problem.
In the past, Americans proposed this idea but failed to implement it. In fact, the Indian Air Force's loss was not unjustified at all.
