What's the point of reporting it if you think it's already outdated?

"Indian pilots are terrible."
Don`t ask for spoon feeding please, you can google that much ..
Thank you..

There's no reliable source for this, plus it doesn't make any sense. The IAF clearly prefers the R-77, which was the only active radar AAM included in its 'emergency' order last year. If it operated the R-27EA it would've included them in this order:
The 400 R-77s in 2019 brought its total acquisition to around 900, which is still very anemic for its 380+ MKIs/Mig-29s/Bisons. For comparison, the PAF acquired 700 AMRAAMs for its 70+ Vipers.
Goodluck with cutting and chopping and whatever you have in your evil mind.
There is no difference between indian who troll on twitter.You are chinese version.
Just because someone dont agree with your perception or opinion it shouldnt instigate hate in you.There are many human beings living in this world and EVERYONE WILL HAVE DIFFERENT THOUGHTS AND DIFFERENT PERCEPTIVES ON ANY GIVEN SITUATIONS.Now this can be applied to present conflict too.
We have existed with China with many mellinneal years and without any conflict .
.
Thanks for your concern Lol.
Goodnight
You're very welcome
.Goodnight to you as well. Hopefully, India will have its last goodnight soon.
When I say missile load, I'm primarily referring to the quality of missiles, not the actual number of missiles loaded.
As for the actual missile quality, the fact that the PL-15 is very long ranged for its class (200+ km) and uses a dual pulse motor suggests its effective range vs a Su-30MKI could be quite high. The R-77, in contrast, has a 80-100 km range, implying its effective range is almost that of a PL-10 ASR missile on effective range (20 km).
If we simply treat the PL-15 as a traditional solid-fuel rocket, as opposed to a dual-pulse rocket that can manage its fuel loads, the PL-15 would have a standard effective range (33% of aerodynamic range) of 67 km. If you treat a dual-pulse rocket as the standard modifier squared, you could expect an effective range of 88 km.
The question then becomes how effective the PL-15's seeker is vs the ECM suite on the Su-30MKI, as well as how reliable it is in general.
===
The biggest problem, when it comes to J-11 and PL-15, is the data-link guidance. With modern BVRAAAMs, a huge problem is that the seeker is only useful on a terminal trajectory; the seeker aperture is often too small to get a good lock onto the target from long-range. AESA can offer a 3x improvement on range.
If, say, we assume that the diameter of a 203mm (PL-15) missile is a factor of 0.16 compared to a full scale 1000mm AESA as on the J-16 or J-20, that implies the range is also multiplied by a factor of 0.16. Then you have roughly 225 km vs 1m^2 converted to 36 km vs 1m^2. The Su-30MKI is supposed to be between 4 and 25 m^2, or a tracking range of 41 km.
This would be beyond the effective range of a R-77, but you'd still need to reverse direction and scoot, which'd take time. With a newer platform like the J-20, you could assume there's datalink capability such that the planes behind the front line could take control of the datalink guidance, but on a older platform such as the J-11, that's not really possible.
Also, looking things up, this is VERY interesting. Looking at Indian plans for their Astra missile, we get details that are quite useful. For instance, Astra is supposed to have a 25 km terminal guidance range on its seeker, which seems to be pulse doppler active. This implies the PL-15, due to its use of AESA, can reach 50-75 km terminal guidance range.
Second, claims on the Astra's future SFDR ramjet suggest that the Meteor's actual maximum range is 340 km.

Well, on a funny note, out of all the neighbors, China has had the most peaceful relations with India and Japan over all of history.
China has more wars with Myanmar than Japan. China has about 50% more wars with the Vietnamese than Koreans. She has about the same number wars with Koreans than Mongols/Mongolians (because the mongols are a relatively young nation, compare to the likes of Turkics and many other Tungusic people).
The most war China had during history is actually with old nomadic people like the Turkic, and Tungusic people.
