why doesn't china have/get long range AAM?

Banned Idiot
thank you, it's actually the same ones I have, except more here

Back to missiles: I don't think China thinks she needs it for the time bring, most likely to use old aircraft and surprise ambush and tear the plane with its short range missile... I just wish China would stop and get the MiG-31, that can give China a super useful temporary solution before China builts her own

SD-10 is good enough for the time being, if they can arm all the J-7s with R-73 (which has a range of 20-40km depending on the version) and all J-8, J-11, and J-10 with SD-10 it's good enough for the time being, plus china hasn't even developed a good enough radr yet

Also true, radar comes first, then missile, then engine...?

rite!??!?!

or a new fuel source to power planes... in 50 years or so all these fuel powered jets WILL BE OBSOLETE, why because there will be no oil left in the world; i say they better start research early then they will have a chance in the long run rather than the short

nuclear fuel cells... radiation...
hydrogen cells.... it will be water coming out of the engine of the plane :(
