I don’t know hence I’m asking.
Probably Sky Dragon 50. The size and shape looks about right
Question: what AAM is this?
DK-10/sky dragon 50, SAM not AAM
No, the one you're thinking of is TY-20 SAM which was briefly thought to be a new AAM.
DK-10/sky dragon 50 SAM is the one in the picture By78 posted, a different model to TY-20

Seems I missed it but stumbled across it again lately, but is there a conclusion on this missile? It looks like being based on the PL-10 IR-guided AAM, but this one features a radar-seaker. I think back then it was discussed if it could be some sort of PL-10RF like the MICA-RF.
Is there any info on produced numbers & annual production rates of the various Chinese AAMs?
I wonder if the missile really refers to the PL-17 ?, as i put it in Google translate
It mentions Ramjet engine and PL-17 as we know it is pure rocket.
