If PL-15 has a dual pulse motor and an AESA seeker those would be significant boons to its overall capability vs AIM-120D.
Specifically, the dual pulse motor means that its end game kinematics nearer to its maximum range will be more capable than traditional single pulse motors with higher kP
Not sure about the dual pulse motor but it uses an AESA seeker.
I doubt it’s cinematics at 180km would be any worse than the AIM120D at the same range even if it lacks the dual pulse motor. At 180km the PL15 still has juice for another 120km while the AIM120D is all out.
