An operational J-10C + PL-10 short-range AAM and the PL-12X / PL-15 (?) long-range AAM.

fantastic. I was wondering when we would get the first clear photo of a standard regiment fighter aircraft with PL-10 and/or PL-15 as their routine armament.

Looks like this J-10C is that aircraft, with both PL-10 and PL-15. Very nice. But I imagine PL-10 and PL-15 have been in service for at least a little while now, with J-16s, but we just haven't had many photos of them.

Indeed !

But I'm still uncertain if this LR/MR-AAM is called now PL-15 or PL-12X ?

Is this the super long range 200KM PL-15? Because it looks different from the photo of when it was on J-11
