personally , i think showing PL-12 still being use on the lastest J-15 variant expecting to be the china's main workhorse fighter jet again US and their allied gang is a huge mistake in term of propagranda here
it reforged the idea american/westerner alway talk about china (atleast that what i see on reddit every fucking time somebody mention china military) : still far inferior , lack behind 50+ years atleast...etc..etc , china tech advance and production still weak , all the good propagranda about muh PL-15 stronk , muh PL-17 good turn out to be ...kind of super rare , limited production cream of the crop show off never enough in number for real war (like Su-57 , T-14 armanta case)
i have no idea what PLAN thinking .....US there day constantly show off their AIM-120D , AIM-120C-8 , and AIM-174B
but china show their still using "ancient" PL-12 on latest J-15 variant ? wtf ?
is that hard to spare some PL-15/PL-17 for an airshow (where the world focus their eyes on chinese military) happen one time every few years ?
my point still stand , the whole point of airshow happen one time per few years is to show off how awesome your military areSir this is a Wendy's.
my point still stand , the whole point of airshow happen one time per few years is to show off how awesome your military are
that why latest J-15 variant and J-35 show up there
why the fxxx equip them with PL-12 ? basically allow american/westerner even korean/japanese laugh and brag : lol look at that ...ancient PL-12 , we don't even need F-35 or AIM-174B/AIM-260 ...just F/A-18 with 120D is enough for a fking turkey shoot on PLA
even if they don't be stupid to the point thinking PLA do not field PL-15s , they still most likely believe PLA not strong enough to field PL-15 in large number significantly enough to make any worthy impact if war happenIf anyone believes that them showing up at the airshow carrying PL-12s implies that they do not field PL-15s, then that is very much their cognitive problem.
What is it with PLA watchers of today and the entitlement...
even if they don't be stupid to the point thinking PLA do not field PL-15s , they still most likely believe PLA not strong enough to field PL-15 in large number significantly enough to make any worthy impact if war happen
and for anyone dare to defense china from this point on , this kind of offical release picture will be use as solid source weapon to shut those china's shill up
"Why isn't the rest as rational as me?"If they really believe that considering how often we've seen PL-15s fielded on every other fighter that is compatible with PL-15, then that is fine.
We don't have to oblige or spoonfeed for people's common sense, and the fact you are raising this as a matter makes it sound like to me you are more worried about winning internet fights with people who are stupid rather than simply knowing what's true and what isn't.
My advice is to accept that there are innumerable people who are stupid and foolish and there is no obligation to change or engage them in argument.
