No, it is a dual-pulse, but the range is reduced. The deputy director of the AVIC Air-to-Air Missile Research Institute made this clear in an interview with a magazine at the 2022 Zhuhai Air Show.

I wonder if the integration works allowed Eyrie Eye to guide the PL-15E's via datalink. Some wild conjectures:
1, Indian pilots assumed they were in safe distance given their experience with amraam yet unaware of PL-15E capabilities.
2, PL-15E's were guided by datalink and no fire control lock, Indian pilots were oblivious until missile went pitbull. If they had awac support their awac should be able to warn them of approaching missiles, but then it is possible awacs were under EW suppression.
3, It is possible both J-10CE radar and PL-15E seeker are using some sort of LPI mode that the French avionic suit were not able to pick up on.
Whatever the real scenarios were this event is a treasure trove for both Chinese and western intelligence. I won't worry about it leaking Chinese capabilities too much though as things changes so fast in the electronics front whatever intel gathered would be obsolete in the next conflict
One advantage that PL-15 has that Meteor doesn’t is that it has dual data link. That is not speculation either, but placard information from Zhuhai Airshow 2022 or 2021. This allows a lot of flexibility in guiding the weapon. AESA radars do have LPI mode, but Rafale should be able to detect incoming projectiles via heat signature as well. Maybe they didn’t operate properly?
IR/UV based MAWS only work at relatively close range, most likely missile had already gone active
AVIC responds to stock hike:
Right on. Not only is there domestic PL-15 (which by now almost certainly has numerous iterative upgrades), there is PL-16 and PL-17, and of course upcoming PL-21.
For 3 consecutive trading days the daily closing price increase or decrease deviation value reaches ±20% cumulatively to issue an abnormal announcement (they only use 1 day lmao), they just do things according to the rules
Please don’t be so heartless, we are Pakistani we are a warrior people, we don’t want war, but if war is imposed on us then we will fight and give a good account, but many young men (and women) will have to die, including civilians, this is not a joke.
For real, I've got a low opinion of people using AI to replace their brains.
Haven't really seen the deluge of Indians using it until now.
Can't be the only one, right?
