Indian officials said PL-15E is inferior to the air-to-air missile India is developing - A senior Indian official stated that India's Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) is analyzing a recovered PL-15E air-to-air missile, while DRDO officials refuted the claim of PL-15E's advanced technology, stating it is inferior to India's "Astra" series air-to-air missiles. They claimed that there is limited technology worth replicating in PL-15E, and the Astra Mk2 and Mk3 currently under development in India (Mk2 has not been equipped yet, Mk3 has not been developed) are clearly superior to PL-15E in terms of performance, range, and technical characteristics.
