It's probably better as an awacs killer that too with less range than other awacs killers. For a fighter aircraft sized targets IMO it's just ok not something extraordinary. Chinese tend to hype their products while Indians underestimate their products.
That what I said in my Rafale's Vs J 20's Post's it's has NEZ's of comparable to the MICA Missile not meter's missile's.

No missile is in development's with a dual ramjet's, but proposal's for hybrid ramjet's have been Made's.
But what is a Dual Ramjet? Make me understand that first.

You might be either talking of Dual Intake RAMJET or Dual Pulse Motor or Dual Mode RAMJET.

Doesn't ramjet require air vents?

Ok, I will explain in details what I am talking about is not about the Standard's PL 15's missiles but an experiential PL 15's version's with dual intake ram jet's under testing's. Dont knew about it's status or is it will succeed the current's Pl 15's or not's.

I am not talking about dual ram jet, but about the dual intake and dual mode ramjet that the new variant's of PL 15's posses, but take it with a pinch of salt's for any Chinese missile's.

Even the standard PL 15's has a dual mode to increase it's range according to the chinese's. But take it's with a pinch of salt for any chinese Missile's. I have explained in details in the Rafale Verses J 20's BVRAAM's Engagment's on the sino border conflict's.

Yeah, DMR. Chinese are good at playing with words. DMR doesn't increase range per se. It only enables a RAMJET engine to perform at subsonic speed along with supersonic speed. So technically you don't require a rocket motor to boost the missile.
But Chinese sure would increase the range by transgressing in the distance territory.

Yes like that they get their so called unbeatable range, but always take the Chinese weapons at 30 percentage exgrationes, they claim a range of 300 Km, but in in reality it's less than meteors more similar to the 200 km less range's.
