PAF Conducts successful test of indigenously developed FAAZ BVRAAM

[Yasser76]

In the long run, is a BVR missile attack still effective at medium range?
Can I replace the PL10? Can the JF-17 use it on its wingtip pylon?

I dont know

Isn't there any smart filly in your stud farm to answer your queries?

I dont know

In my openion since this type of misdile has not been deployed or used in last 30 years. I my self is very confused of the lethality of this missile. I wonder if it could be mounted to replace pl10 on jf17 or j10 now that will be a very big win.

Can you actually produce it locally though? India is exporting BRAHMOS and it still requires some Russian "parts". But as long as it is "local"..

Again you are thinking about the wrong things. Let's just assume that Faaz seeker is indigenous and the rest requires parts from China

The whole process is still going to be cheaper and faster than buying AIM-120 and Meteors from the West as complete units.

We don't need it to be 100% indigenous

Very advanced IR option, gives enemy another headache as compare to radar guided. Also IR always used to be mainly for WVR, MICA and FAAZ have changed that

And also, older Russian R-27 BVR's version had a range similar to FAAZ

It cannot completely replace the PL-10.

There are many fundamental differences in the design logic and technical orientation between WVR (within-visual-range) and BVR (beyond-visual-range) missiles.

But......

According to information found on Chinese-language websites, the PL-15 missile can, within a certain range, serve as a substitute for the PL-10 missile.
More precisely, the PL-10 is classified as a short-to-medium-range air-to-air missile, while the PL-15 is a medium-to-long-range air-to-air missile. Their engagement envelopes overlap; within this overlapping range, the PL-15 can replace the PL-10. ------ Simply put, just make sure the target doesn’t get too close to you.

The FAAZ series air-to-air missiles have a similar tactical role to China's PL-12/15, so this question can be used as a reference.
