LCA Tejas Mk1 & Mk1A - News and discussions

[Rajput Lion]

The standard of each country is different, India claims that the range of 110KM is the standard at a height of 15KM, which is the same as the range of AIM120A. This chart is a table of the relationship between the range and height of AIM120AView attachment 38039
While the Chinese standard is 10KM altitude, the latest official introduction of the PL12 is at this altitude of 120KM

PL-12AE air-to-air missile is a medium and long range radar air-to-air missile, which has the characteristics of long range, high guidance accuracy and strong anti-jamming ability. It can undertake the combat mission of over-the-horizon air combat, and is used to attack air targets such as fighters, bombers, UAVs and cruise missiles. The aircraft carrying platform is JF-17, Raptor, large UAV, etc. The launching mode is guide rail and catapult; Maximum available overload 38; Attack distance ≥120km; The guidance mode is strapdown inertial navigation system/Beidou satellite combination + bidirectional data link correction + active radar terminal guidance;
Length 3939mm, diameter 203mm, mass ≤214kg.

Astra MK1 has much more range than what is publicaly known. Most of the specs that you see online are of the first Astra 1 prototype, which had length of 3.57m.

The Astra 1 that has gone in production is much more longer at 3.84m. If older Astra could reach 110kms at 15km altitude then you could just imagine what the latest version's max range would be.

And lol at your comparison of Astra with AIM-120A. Astra is superior than even AIM-120C5 and is second ONLY to AIM-120D in the single-pulse BVR missiles because of the latter being much more refined/mature version of its kind. Astra also has very high speed.

Just swallow your Chinese ego and accept that Astra MK1 is at least at par with your PL-12A.

Is there any official authority to back that up?

With India's own official data proving that AIM120A and Astra-1 have similar range, I can make that assumption

I only searched some official data and made some comparisons.
Moreover, we are only comparing the range of this one data,

Seems bs because if that is true Pakistanis would have fired their sd-10's instead of wasting their amraams.

Uhhmm the aim120a/b's range is 60-90km the C5 has a range of 105km and 120+ km for the c-7's.
From what I could find the pl12ae has a range between 100-150km which puts it in the same class as the astra mk1, C5, c7 and r-77sd.
