PL-10 is 3m long... the size of fighter aircraft is always baffling.A very rare sight. J-16's wingtip pylons are occupied (by PL-10).

The 7th at Rugao to my eyes.
I think when he said it's a rare sight because only three brigades operating J-16s have been deployed to the frontlines for combat purposes and rarely been reported without any censorship.
On the other hand, when J-16s were on combat patrol duties, they always have PL-10s on the wingtips.
J-16s from the 40th
This one was from August 2022, we all know what happened.
J-16 from the 98th, deployed to Kuqa airport in June 2021 during a rapid deployment exercise.

Pictures of a PLANAF J-11BSH.
The hud repeater on the backseat MFD shows some of the symbology used, although the rather low resolution makes it hard to decipher things other than what’s already obvious =(

More PLANAF J-11BSH
Do we have a photo of gray dome J-11B carrying PL-15? If I recall correctly we’ve seen PL-15 on legacy J-11B before but not yet on the upgraded ones.
Not yet, and only one with a PL-10
Wow 
... what a birthday present!
Wendell Minnick is undoubtedly a more than proven specialist in "China and Taiwan military and intelligence issues" and his blog is well known to all those who know the scene:
Therefore I was all the more happy about his offer to review my current book and I was all the more excited about what he would say about it ... obviously he seems to like it.
