Guys, does anyone know how many pylons J-10s have? Wiki and many other websites say it has 11 (5 under fuselage), but I can only see 9 (3 under fuselage).

Also, why J-10 don't have any wingtip pylon? If I'm not mistaken JF-17 that the PAF use is partially developed by Chengdu, which is also the developer of J-10, and it has wingtip pylons. If they can, retrofitting the wiring and adding some strengthening to the wingtips in exchange for 2 more pylons for AAM sounds like a good deal for me.

There are indeed 11... the rwo rear fuselage stations are rarely seen.
