Wish there is size.. it could be Chinese analog to Izdeliye-810.

Not again ... I must admit, PLA designation system is going a bit wild recently ; yesterday the re-use of the PL-11 designation, now the new missile - we formerly expected to be the PL-16 - as the PL-15E!

Well, it's basically just a compressed-carriage PL-15, right? It might simply be viewed as a PL-15 for J-35 weapons bay.

Folding fin variant should still get a different designation.
A) so users know what they are talking about
B) because there must be some slight differences in performance, due to extra weight, extra drag, a bit less mid body lift etc. if it was so easy and beneficial to put folding wings on a2a missiles, everyone would be doing it. Save for 2 fins on r37, i cant think of any other a2a missile doing it.

The TY-90 miniature helicopter AAM now seems to be PL-90AE, and has a bigger brother PL-108.

New Version Of Chinese PL-15 Air-To-Air Missile Tailored For Stealth Fighters Revealed

A folding-fin version of the active-radar-guided missile will equip the J-35 and will likely expand the J-20's internal carriage from four to six. A folding-fin version of the active-radar-guided missile may be key to providing medium-range internal weapons for the J-35 stealth fighter.
