JF-17/FC-1 Fighter Aircraft thread

Apparently a CAC JF-17C Block 3 was seen during weapons integration tests in summer 2023 and - thanks to @Blitzo “even if there doesn't seem to be any clear signs of the aircraft carrying a PL-10 or PL-15 missiles, and it is unclear if there is any missile loaded on the aircraft to begin with“, some say it carries at least a PL-15.
In fact there was a second image posted today on Twitter showing the same aircraft a bit clearer with what appears to be a PL-15 under its wings, but I wasn‘t able to save it and it seems to be gone!

Is it based on how small the fins are on the missile? Very blurry image otherwise.
Here's the missing second JF-17C image with what is rumoured to be a PL-15 under its wings. However, I must admit, now after second sight, I don't think it is a PL-15. Whatever it is, is not long enough for a PL-15.
Hi,
is it possible that it can be a missile locally developed by GIDS, Pakistan
thank you

Now I would say, that’s just the launch rail attached to the pylon
Then considering the length of pylon, it should lead to PL-15, isn't it?
It may be the CM-400AKG, one weapon it's known to carry on that specific hardpoint with documented evidence.
But these are more pointy at the front, contrasting against earlier image which shows a flatter nose.
PL-15 also has a pointy nose.
PL-10 is not very pointy.
