The deadly PL-15 long-range air-to---air missile of China's J-20 stealth fighter Active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar seeker and complex electronic counter-countermeasures define this advanced weapon system. Reported to be about 200 kilometres, the missile's great range lets the J-20 engage targets while yet outside most opposing fighters' effective range.
