FlankerFan35 Posted February 15, 2024 Posted February 15, 2024 Hi Deka or anyone in the know, can anyone detail the changes between AIM-7E, Aspide-1A and PL-11? I've read that its performance is only slightly better than the 7E and some saying its closer to a 7M, any info would be appreciated.

For the little information I know, PL-11 wasn't closer to 7M, at least not the original PL-11. However, there are 2 upgraded A and B variants. A variant had a new motor and seeker, which gave it a similar performance as AIM-7L. The B variant was just an A variant with an active seeker. 4 My Adorable Communist Errand Girls Led by me, the Communist Errand Panda

That was a mistake on my part. It was an article I read a long time ago and I got it mixed up with the AIM-9L and PL-5E comparison. So I went back and found that article and read it again. It only stated that: "The A variant is an improved variant with greater range and more powerful warhead. The improved seeker head requires the guidance of the fire-control radar of the aircraft only during the final stage of the flight. The B variant is also known as PL-11-ARM. This is an active radar-homing derivative of the A variant, with an AMR-1 active radar-homing seeker developed by the 607 institute."

MysteriousHonza Posted October 14, 2024 Posted October 14, 2024 PL-11 is aspide. Both engine and seeker, its copy of aspide. Aspide is slightly upgraded 7E - new seeker and slightly better engine. Its far from 7F/M. It got somewhat upgraded engine that burns for 3-3,5 seconds.
