It looks like P15E though
We don't know anything about aerial picture yet, too early to guess.PL15E is probly shot from a J10C at high energy, since the DLZ of AAM is severly affected by its platform, 50k feet alt & MA 1.5 could easily double the NEZ, JF17 is not an appropriate choice for such situation.
While that is true, I don’t think that many kills could’ve been achieved if PAF flew Tejas.
Yes but this was non LO vs non LO, 60/40m fighters vs 250m planeAt most will measure baseless enthusiasm/hype.
Otherwise, vulnerability of non-LO aircraft, EW or no, is not a secret for decades.
But evidence was also growing that the Indian forces may have taken heavy losses during the operation. At least two aircraft were said to have gone down in India and the Indian-controlled side of Kashmir, according to three officials, local news reports, and accounts of witnesses who had seen the debris of two.
One Indian official confirmed the crash of three aircraft, but cautioned that the reasons were not clear. Two other Indian security officials confirmed reports that some Indian aircraft had gone down, but would not elaborate on the details. They all spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details of military action.
Apparently CCTV ran a special feature on PL-15E today? Would anyone be able to find it?
