The American AIM120, the leader of air-to-air missiles, has major flaws, and China's Pili 15 performs well

Z0z is the main air-to-air strike method of the fighter. Compared with surface-to-surface missiles and surface-to-air missiles, air-to-air missiles have the characteristics of fast response, good maneuverability, small size, light weight, and flexible and convenient use. It has a longer range, higher hit accuracy, and greater power than an aircraft cannon. Air-to-air missiles can be used to attack targets within visual range, and can also be used as intercept missiles. They have both close-range combat capabilities and perform full-height, all-round, and all-weather combat missions.

Modern air warfare has developed in the direction of informatization and beyond-the-horizon combat. In order to ensure their own air superiority, countries are stepping up research and development of more powerful air-to-air missiles. Beyond-horizon air-to-air missiles have become standard equipment for advanced fighters in all countries. The performance of these five models is particularly outstanding. The fifth place is the "Mika" air-to-air missile from France, which has been in service in the late 1990s. There are two types: surface-to-air and ship-to-air. Equipped with active search radar and far-infrared search system, the compound guidance has extremely strong anti-jamming capability, and it is a strong competitor of the US advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles.

The fourth Russian R-77 "Viper" air-to-air missile, with a maximum flight speed of Mach 4.5, is mainly used to complete air combat missions with Su-27, Su-30 and MiG series. Active radar guidance combined with excellent high-elevation performance can stimulate higher lift to bite the target. It has the ability to do nothing after launch and multi-target attack. The effective range reaches 0.3-80 kilometers. The span is amazing to meet modern combat ammunition. Important conditions.

The third place comes from China’s ace weapon, the PL-15 over-the-horizon air-to-air missile. As a large missile with a body length of more than six meters, it is equipped with a phased array radar equipped with fighter aircraft. After launch, it can freely adjust the flight trajectory to achieve air orbit change. The Pili-15 has become an international star before it is made public, and has even become a reason for the US Air Force to request funding from Congress to build a new weapon to replace the US military's existing beyond-horizon air-to-air missiles.

Second place: Six European countries, under strong pressure from the United States and Russia, jointly developed this "Meteor" long-range air-to-air missile. The main feature is fast and highly maneuverable beyond visual range operations. Active radar guidance can adapt to complex external environments to complete all-weather combat missions. It has strong anti-jamming capability, long range, and high lethality. It is mainly equipped with fighters from European countries. The champion of

is still the AIM-120 from the United States, which is recognized as the strongest air-to-air missile in the world. It has multiple derivative versions to meet the different operational needs of the US military. With all-weather, omni-directional attack capability and high-explosive fragment directional warhead, it is sufficient to meet its operational needs before 2024. The only flaw is the semi-active radar guidance of the equipment. After this type of missile is launched, the carrier needs to keep track and illuminate the target until it hits the intended target. The carrier cannot move too much. It is possible that both sides of the air battle will be attacked by the opponent. The ending of the shot down.
