They always can add the early variant and/or not implement it loadout (like it was and arguable still is with MiG-29SMT)
As others here have highlighted before, the J-16’s pylons are not compatible with older missiles and there is no such thing as a J-16 “early”. Adding it now with old missiles would be completely inaccurate, and pointless on top of that since one of the key features about the J-16 is gonna be its weaponry
Would be like adding a F-15E with sparrows
Just be patient and wait for the right moment to add a vehicle, hurrying this type of things can’t lead to anything good

I’m very tempted to say there’s nothing but I do see that small thing that looks like a fin where there shouldn’t be so maybe idk
I’m not sure to know what missile you refer to
Thats a PL12. and the think to the left looks like a PL12 dual rack
Oh alright, it’s just that you outlined a pylon next to that PL-12 so I thought you meant there was another missile on that pylon too that wasn’t very visible due to being in front of the other PL-12, so I was confused.
But yeah that missile is a PL-12 asbolutely
do you guys think that this is a dual rack pylon
