New Delhi: The remains of a missile fired by the Pakistani Army were found in Hoshiarpur, Punjab on Friday a day later. Indian air defense News agency ANI reported that the system fired all missiles and drones Islamabad.However, BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya and various other reports claimed that the missile was a completely intact situation.Amit Malviya wrote on X, “A completely intact Chinese PL -15 long -range air -air -air missile was recovered in Hoshiarpur, Punjab, which was launched from a PAF jet, most likely that JF -17. It failed to explode.”The PL-15 is a highly advanced long-range air-air-air missile developed by the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF), China’s People’s Liberation Army Air Force, to increase its Beyond-Viguel-Rage (BVR) fighters.The aircraft is designed to target the aircraft from a distance of about 200 to 300 km, PL -15 is considered a significant jump in China. Air war technologyIt has an active radar homeing guidance system and is equipped with two-way data links, allowing it to obtain mid-curves updates from other sources such as launch platform or AWACS aircraft.How does it benefit India?If this Chinese PL -15 remains intact, India can get many strategic and technical benefits. Studying such a missile will allow Indian defense scientists and engineers to analyze their internal systems-south, propulsion, datalink and electronic counter-counter-counter-co-operaxers.This can not only assist in reverse engineering and can help like Estra MK -2 or MK -3 in the development of more advanced indigenous BVR (Beyond -Visual -ranges) missiles, but also help to prepare effective counterers.Understanding how PL -15 locks and jamming on the target will be able to refine India their electronic war capabilities and equip your fighter aircraft better to survive in a better airspace.Additionally, India can use this intelligence to enhance the readiness and tuning of its ground-based air defense systems such as S-400 to disrupt similar dangers.There will also be value in sharing insight with strategic colleagues such as the United States, France, or Israel, possibly goodwill earning or gaining access to complementary technologies.From an operational point of view, knowledge of PL -15 strength and weaknesses can help Indian pilots adjust their strategy in potential aerial busyness with Chinese jets such as J -20 or J -16. Overall, capturing and studying PL -15 can serve as a powerful force multiplier for India in the rivalry with China for India.
