The battle escalates in DCS World! After last week's showdown between the US F-35A armed with the AIM-260 and the PLAAF J-35 equipped with the PL-15, we raise the stakes with an epic F-22 Raptor vs J-20 beyond-visual-range (BVR) engagement.
This time, the US Air Force fields a full squadron of F-22 Raptors armed with the next-generation AIM-260 JATM, while the Chinese PLAAF deploys a squadron of J-20 Mighty Dragons carrying the upcoming PL-16 long-range air-to-air missile.
Making its debut on the channel, the PL-16 is rumored to exceed 150 miles of range while reaching Mach 5 speeds. Can China's newest missile compete with America's latest air superiority weapon, or will the AIM-260 dominate the skies?
Watch this DCS World simulation to see how these cutting-edge stealth fighters and next-generation missiles perform in one of the most anticipated modern air combat matchups.
