Nice pics. That Z-10K seems to lack the boxy shaped blisters near the IR warning apertures, which are found on earlier Z-10, indicating there might be no RWR installed.

Did some web searching and apparently the missing boxes were a pulse doppler MAWS according to chinese-military-aviation.blogspot.com. Perhaps eliminated to save weight since the production aircraft use less powerful engines than the first prototypes.

Doubtful because previous production aircraft featured those systems as well so if sight was an issue we probably should've seen them removed in all the previous production batches too

Excellent is a relative term. I'd like to see a maneuvering Z-10 with a full spread of 16 loaded HJ-10s, which up till now I have never seen.
