Searched the image and found it in a Spanish language military forum, one of the responses is:
Aparentemente es Fake la foto por lo que pude leer en foros Pakistanies.

Which translates to that apparently the image is fake according to Pakistani forums, it is fake in my opinion too

Its fake, also note the position of most outer pylons.

There are a lot of such fakes online, some badly done (as this one) but also some deep fakes.

well yeah we wouldve seen missile there before already if they were able

and like i said at best you can maybe find a concept or mockup of early J-10´s i guess

It must be fake. There is no launch rail, and for an air-to-air missile suspended under the intake, without a specific design to prevent the engine from ingesting exhaust gases, it could cause a flameout due to the engine ingesting the missile’s exhaust during launch.

Dual PL12 pylons?

wdym?

its pretty easy to find the twin PL-12 pylons

those PL-10´s have never been mounted there ever (or any other missile for that matter) nor has there been any evidence it could mount missiles there

I thought you were referring to the dual PL12 pylons

ohh no i meant the pylons like in the photo with the PL-10´s, shouldve clarified

the image is theorizing about strengthening the wing structure to improve carrying capacity without having to change the aerodynamics of the plane, hence why you see the PL15s on the outer underwing pylons

I think if the pylons are slightly angled outwards like the F/A-18E’s pylons then the possibility of the engine ingesting exhaust gases from the missiles can be reduced.

Uzbekistan is going to acquire J-10CE

Already did. 5 of them were shown today

More like the weird (not really) thing tied to Chinese and, to some extended, American jets

Eventually they’ll put a camo on it. I’d love a desert Camo for my j-10C

I wish this camo was available for the J-10A is kinda rare seeing camouflage schemes in the Chinese tech tree:

Someone gotta make one (because I dont remember seeing it on LIVE)
