Between 7 and 10 May 2025, an armed conflict ensued between Pakistan and India, with both parties engaging in substantial aerial bombardment of each other’s military infrastructure. It was during this conflict that the Chinese-made PL-15(E) air-to-air missile was reportedly used for the first time in combat. In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive account of the Chinese missile, accompanied by a comparative analysis with other missiles.
