The U.S. Air Force’s highest ranking officers have publicly and privately expressed
alarm at China’s newest air missile, the PL–15, with one general asking outright at
a public forum: “How do we counter that?”
Gen. Herbert Carlisle, the head of the Air Force’s Air Combat Command, expressed
concerns on at least two public occasions about China’s new missile, which touts
a high-tech radar seeker and extremely powerful motor that allows it to strike at
targets more than 60 miles away.
“Look at our adversaries
and what they’re
developing, thinks like the
PL–15 and the range of
that weapon,” he said,
during a speech at the
Center for Strategic and
International Studies in
Washington, D.C., reported
by the Daily Beast.
His remarks were delivered
the same day China test-
fired the weapon.
“How do we counter that and what are we going to do to continue to meet that
threat?” he asked, the news outlet said.
The following day, Carlisle’s concerns were reflected in a separate interview with
Flight Global.
