I think it might just be because of the wide-angle lens. The PLA Air Force really likes those GoPro-style panoramic wide-angle lenses, which makes the missile look like it’s on pylon 2. In reality, based on in-game simulated camera angles, it’s actually on pylon 4.

sad

It is a pity that China does not publish weapon carriage diagrams for its aircraft.

Personally, I can name three aircraft for which the weapon loadout can be specified precisely:
JL-8
L-15
FC-31

This is from the datamines.

What do the GTM Transceiver and Illumination Transmitter changes do?

Or is it just more stuff for Air to Sea?

Reducing the angle of half sensitivity is a buff to tracking performance, transmitter power I don’t know and haven’t had a clear answer on what it does.

afaik it literally does nothing (according to the Dataminers, as the values it could change are already set or something eg detection range)

Okay i need a little help here:

The missile on the wing tips resembles the PL-10 at first glance but there is two(3?) major differences,
that being the strakes no ending in a slow angle towards the missile body but being a 90° bend (could be perspective tbf),
second being the seekerhead no being round but narrowing down first before the actual seeker (R-73/PL-8B style is what it reminds me of),
(third is seeker color so white but thats nothing new).

Somebody suggested that it might be a cheaper PL-10 version.

On SDF and Weibo ppl claimed to be either dummy seeker for training simulation or new PL10 with smaller but more advanced seeker,

7223594bgy1if2fzpkxddj206k04et8n
They look similar to the 9X shape too

dummy seekers are also either white or clear like the normal PL-10 thats the thing, someone suggested it might be a cheaper PL-10 reusing a seeker similar to the PL-8B

Doubt,China isnt in need to re use older seekers even more on a like 12 year old missile…I believe is just a dummy seeker,tho wouldnt be surprised if it received and upgrade

Well there is also the strakes being different, and its not a dummy missile for 2 reasons

  1. its not blue
    2.normal PL-10 dummys have clear seeker heads not differing from the normal one

Its neither a PL8 seeker too since its smaller and the PL8 is the same size seeker head as the PL10,on SDF also talked somenthing about ARH PL10 that was seen in a couple years ago in expo but never saw any light beyond that,its still to early to know what is it for now…

I havent seen a pic of a ARH PL-10 but have this


LD-8 is in there since it is a member of the PL-10 family
The other missiles are there just to show that it uses a similar seeker to them.
We have already seen PL-10´s with white seeker domes btw, also i am not sure if one could get a IIR seeker to work through such a white dome
