I just realized the ramification of long range AAM. Since to achieve 100KM above hits the missile will go in a parabolic trajectory. When the missile goes pitbull the orientation will be top down, and that’s literally when an aircraft’s RCS is at its max. I wonder if this will allow for very long range kill of fifth and maybe even sixth gen assets as long as the missile can receive data.

This is what the PL-17 does.

The J-36 is meant to fly high which means it’s shooting while looking down. Makes you wonder if they can get extended range shot even with PL-15/16s.
