PL-10 AAM spotted on a J-11B
Is this the first photo of the PL10, China Air Force's next generation of High Agility AAM?
Word on the street seems to agree.
PL-10 (K/AKK-10?) is the next generation IR-guided missile in the same class as AIM-9X, ASRAAM, A-Darter and IRIS-T. It features an IIR seeker and TVC, giving the missile a 90° off-boresight angle and excellent IRCCM capability against aerial target maneuvering at high-gs. It also has a "lock-after-launch" capability, which could extend its range to BVR. A recent drawing reveals 4 narrow stabilizing strips are attached to the mid-section. The development of PL-10 started in 2005 and a test round was launched from the ground in November 2008. The development was projected to be completed by 2010
