I guess I was thinking of a submunitions based design. It *might* be more volumetrically efficient if you’re going for multiple shots to guarantee a kill. But yeah…It's in km, to cover that you would need nukes
Chinese air to air missiles
- Thread starter tphuang
- Start date
I bet others have thought of this before, or it may have been achieved before. But this paper to get a deviation angle of less than 0.01 degrees and a deviation distance of less than 0.1 meters is an absolutely insane algorithm.
And the fact that the target aircraft was constantly performing 15G maneuvers; Like how many active-duty pilots could even do that? Or have they already planned for UCAV vs. UCAV?

Post the paper then...
You can use Google search to identify the picture; you should be able to find it.
Oh hey ain't this the one I posted on Twitter (ignore the caption)?
If you convert the longitude and latitude to km it's pretty darn insane...
I've been meaning to post this (not sure if it has been posted prior): an IWB-compatible ALHCM, with a length of 4.6 m and a diameter of 0.5 m, weighing at 1.15 tonnes.
The scariest thing isn't that this might be able to fit in the J-XD-S or the J-36, it's the fact that a Mach 4 launch from the IWB is a consideration for it

Who said this is merely the YJ-19 adapted to be air-launched? For all we know this could be something akin to the CJ-1000 which can target aerial assets.
Also, if you've actually read the figures, you would've seen that it's capable of M2 launch too. Nobody said the J-36/XD would be lobbing it at M4. And afaik there's yet to be any solid evidence to suggest the existence of a JH-XX.
u/Devil_R22 on reddit has been translating about the Flanker's history in China, and in they mentioned "As a result, the Chinese have also used the J-16, as well as some J-11B and BS units based in the Golbi Desert, to test fire several new type of air-to-air missiles, including the heavy, long-range PL-17, in an attempt to shoot down certain 5th-gen aircraft that supercruises at Mach 1.6 with a sustained 5G load in a distance of more than 400km."
Have we heard about this before? If this is true, it makes it pretty clear that the PL-17 is meant for much more than just slow, non-maneuvering targets. Also, can anyone access the video to find the exact wording?
