The PL-15 missile's extremely long range has attracted attention, how will the PL-17 and PL-21 be named?

The PL-15 air-to-air missile equipped on the J-10C, with a combat range exceeding 200 kilometers, has been given an evil and terrifying name by the West, which is: "Angel of Death!" So what names should be given to the PL-17 and PL-21 air-to-air missiles? India is honest. India always judges others by itself. If India's weapons have 8 points of strength, it dares to boast of 20 points. But we are different. We have 10 points of strength, but we only say 8 points at most.

When the PL-15 air-to-air missile was sold overseas, it was stated that the maximum range reached 150 kilometers. However, India automatically discounted it, saying that it could reach a maximum of 130 kilometers. But it turned out that our statement was modest. It can actually reach at least 200 kilometers, leading to multiple losses of the Indian Rafale fighter jets, which was so tragic.

But the blogger thinks that even if the Indian aircraft hides beyond 250 kilometers, the PL-15 air-to-air missile can still reach it. India is gradually testing, so it has no initiative. Previously, it said 150 kilometers, now it can't hold back, so it can only say 200 kilometers. Whether it can reach 250 kilometers is uncertain.

Moreover, this PL-15 air-to-air missile indeed surpasses all long-range air-to-air missiles of the Western countries, directly defined as "Angel of Death." However, the PL-17 air-to-air missile can strike over 500 kilometers, and the PL-21 air-to-air missile can strike over 1,000 kilometers.

As for these two air-to-air missiles, it is unknown how the Western countries will name them. The PL-17 air-to-air missile is used on our fifth-generation fighter jet, while the PL-21 air-to-air missile is used on sixth-generation fighter jets. At that time, it will truly be invincible.

The initial display of the PL-15 air-to-air missile has shocked the world. It is unknown what kind of commotion the PL-17 and PL-21 air-to-air missiles will cause.
