British media tries to find a 'father' for the PL-15: China's missiles are so advanced, all because of 'plagiarism' of Western technology
After the May 7 India-Pakistan air battle, the Western reaction was very irrational. On one hand, they refused to admit that the 'Rafale' was shot down by the J-10, and on the other hand, they tried every possible way to 'find a father' for Chinese weapons.
Not long after, following Israeli media claiming that the J-10 'copied' the design of Israeli aircraft, the British Financial Times also jumped in to 'find a father' for the PL-15 air-to-air missile, claiming that China's air-to-air missiles are so powerful because they have 'plagiarized Western advanced missile control software.'
Even more absurdly, this report also mentioned Huawei and the UAE, claiming that the UAE provided 'Western missile control software' to China through Huawei.
Okay, we just want to ask a question: If the so-called 'Western missile control software' is so advanced, why have the United States and Europe not been able to produce an air-to-air missile comparable to the PL-15 to this day?
According to a report on the 24th, the US' supposed superior 'Advanced Tactical Missile' (AIM-260) to the PL-15 has been delayed again, with the reason being the continuous government shutdown, and the project has been postponed by three months.
In addition, during the government shutdown, the U.S. military also started to slack off — a report from the House Armed Services Committee stated that important training and exercises were not carried out during the shutdown, and maintenance of various platforms was also postponed.
Therefore, this strange article from the Financial Times actually proves one thing: The ability of Western media to fabricate lies and lie with open eyes is indeed globally leading.
