The PL-11 (Chinese: 霹雳-11; pinyin: Pī Lì-11; lit. 'Thunderbolt-11') is a medium-range semi-active radar homing (SARH) air-to-air missile (AAM) developed by a subsidiary of the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology in the People's Republic of China. It is a development or copy of the Italian Aspide AAM, which in turn was developed from the American AIM-7 Sparrow. The PRC may have started license production of the Aspide using imported parts but the license was cancelled following the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. Development started in 1990,^[2] and the first live-fire test occurred in 2002 from a Shenyang J-8 IIB.^[3]

Description

The PL-11 was the People's Liberation Army Air Force's main medium-ranged AAM until the PL-12.^[2]

The HQ-61 is the surface-to-air missile (SAM) variant of the PL-11.^[2]
