I learned from my Air Force friend who retired due to injury that the only difference between JH7A and JH7A2 is their fire control system. JH7A2 has upgraded to a new fire control system, but its equipment has not changed. The new fire control system is designed to be compatible with PL12 and new air to ground missiles
I cannot provide evidence as it is confidential content
We will see, considering the JH-7E is shown.
But you don’t have any evidence, do you?
As far as I know, this is a bomb used to deal with airport runways, and there are similar items in NATO and Russia’s arsenal, but they are not very useful in the game
Is the lack of any markings on the ordnance not sufficient enough to dismiss it? If you assert it is PL-12 the burden of proof is on you.

No, it was asserted that these are PL-12 first;
The images are showing the enhanced air to ground ordnance available to the JH-7. It is from an exposition of the aircraft in 2014 and pictures were taken by “Военный дневник Игоря Коротченко”. The only air to air ordnance that was shown off at the time were mounted on the wingtips and were just PL-5’s.
Other people that were there at the exposition such as David Bignelli state that the missile was the LD-10 whereas the Russian photographer gave no information on the ordnance and just posted the photos.
Further, it was discussed that they were showing off the various anti-radiation missiles that were competing with each other at the time such as the CM-102, LD-10, and YJ-91. These had a larger emphasis at Zhuhai 2014.
I wasted my time doing any research towards this because it is a simple matter. The missile was shown alongside other anti-radiation missiles inside and it was shown with the other air to ground ordnance options for the plane in the photo. It was common sense that this was not the PL-12 but rather the LD-10.
