Sino-US Joint Betrayal of India? Pakistan's 'Buddy' Faces a New US-made Weapon, the US Version of PL-15 Causes Anxiety for the Indian Air Force
After China sold advanced equipment to Pakistan, the US government immediately followed up, granting an exception to sell the strongest air-to-air missile used in F-22 and F-35 to Pakistan. The Indian media was angry: Sino-US have jointly betrayed India.
Oriental Comment: After the 5.7 India-Pakistan air battle, the Pakistani Air Force achieved a glorious victory using Chinese system equipment. Then, President Trump rarely invited the head of the Pakistani Air Force to lunch, trying to strengthen relations with Pakistan. This shows that the value of the united front is truly won through combat.
In addition, to enhance influence over Pakistan, the US recently allowed the export of the most advanced air-to-air missile AIM-120D to Pakistan, mainly suitable for the F-16 aircraft of the Pakistani Air Force. The Indian media said that after China exported J-10C and PL-15E missiles to Pakistan, the US selling AIM-120D air-to-air missiles to Pakistan can be called the US version of "PL-15," which is the strongest medium-range air-to-air missile used by the US aircraft. Its range exceeds 140 kilometers, greatly increasing the combat power of the Pakistani Air Force's F-16s. The Indian media "Military News" pointed out that this is a "backstab" by China and the US against India. After equipping with the top air-to-air missiles from China and the US, the Pakistani Air Force will further lead the Indian Air Force in aerial combat capabilities, while the Indian Air Force currently has no way to respond.
