图像：显露冲压AAM能力在中国手中，如果掌握，会是能力上的一个非常重要的阶段前进（中国英特网，经由R Hewson）

    [环球展望军事网编译]一连串经由英特网释放的图像已经显示许多中国空对空导弹（AAM）计划；简氏已经识别中国AAM发展的三种新的组合包括现有武器增强型和至今未知的设计。

    虽然图像附有非常少的信息，它们看来似乎证实一些在中国AAM技术的预期方向，包括先进的，敏捷的格斗武器和增程冲压推进系统。

    在一幅图像中一对小型AAM被看到在位于SD-10（PL-12）有源雷达-制导导弹的上面两侧携带：这是第一次这种‘三 -发’ 挂架在一架中国战斗机上被看到。武器被一架西安JH-7A攻击战斗机携带-平台与如此尖端的AAM一起第一次被看到。

“飞豹”（JH-7A）攻击战斗机翼下首见神秘新导弹！

    新的小型AAM-如果它们是什么-照现在的样子它们没有安装红外（IR）导引头是不寻常的。两个项目改为有天线罩，它们可能是像SD-10一样的主动雷达-制导武器。

    俄国专用导引头设计机构AGAT已经发展专用的，小型化型号的9B-1103M导引头去配合如此小-直径导弹。9B-1103M-150有一个150毫米宽的天线，而且AGAT代理已经告诉简氏周刊它已经生产去响应来自俄罗斯外的特殊客户的兴趣。AGAT拒绝指明那一个客户。

China hints at new air-launched missiles

A series of images released via the Internet has revealed a number of new Chinese air-to-air missile (AAM) programmes; Jane's has identified three new strands in Chinese AAM development including enhanced versions of existing weapons and hitherto unknown designs.

While very little information accompanies the images, they appear to confirm several anticipated trends in Chinese AAM technology, including advanced, agile dogfight weapons and extended-range ramjet propulsion systems.

In one image a pair of small AAMs are seen carried on shoulder launchers above an SD-10 (PL-12) active radar-guided missile: this is the first time such a 'three-shot' pylon has been seen on a Chinese combat aircraft. The weapons are carried by a Xian JH-7A strike aircraft - the first time that platform has been seen with such sophisticated AAMs.

The new small AAMs - if that is what they are - are unusual as they are not fitted with an infrared (IR) seeker. Both items instead have radomes, suggesting they might be active radar-guided weapons like the SD-10.

Russian specialist seeker design house AGAT has developed a special, miniaturised version of its 9B-1103M seeker to fit such small-diameter missiles. The 9B-1103M-150 has a 150 mm wide antenna and AGAT representatives have told Jane's that it was produced in response to specific customer interest from outside Russia. AGAT declined to identify that customer.
