Pak confirms use of Chinese PL-15 missile after India struck its terror camps
The Pakistan Air Force on Friday admitted to using a Chinese PL-15 missile on Wednesday after India smashed nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).This admission marks the first confirmed operational use of the PL-15 missile by any country, as the Chinese missile has not previously been tested in PL-15 is a radar-guided, long-range air-to-air missile with an estimated range exceeding 200 kilometres, and is considered a significant threat to enemy The Pakistan Air Force's admission also validates the speculation that the missile debris recovered in Punjab's Hoshiarpur and Bathinda districts after Thursday's attempted attack likely belonged to a PL-15.
