Pakistan Air Force has released pictures of its latest JF-17 Block III fighter aircraft armed with PL-15 Beyond Visual Range Air-to-air missiles, equipped on its dual racks. Reports circulating on social media also claim that the PL-15 missiles seen on the Pakistan Air Force aircraft were drawn from the internal stocks of China’s People’s Liberation Army Air Force, rather than the export-variant PL-15E. If the reports are accurate, then it would signify an urgent arms transfer from Beijing to Islamabad at a critical juncture when rising tensions between India and Pakistan could flare into an all-out war at any time.
