PL-9
Notes: This Chinese missile is also used as a surface-to-air missile (called the DK-9 in that role). Its performance is about equal to the AIM-9M Sidewinder, being one level harder to decoy with flares or countermeasures. It is believed to be developed from the 14-km-range version of the Israeli Python 3, which Israel sold to China in the late 1980s (the Python 3 being developed from the AIM-9L).
