Major mistake, as demonstrated by the complete dominance of 5th-generation platforms over legacy ones during China's own "Red Sword" exercises, which was almost exclusively due to the J-20's VLO characteristics.

The "PL-15" designation refers to a smaller missile with a range of 150-200 km, comparable to the AIM-120D according to some folks.
The large missile first seen in 2016, with a supposed range of 300-500+ kilometers, has an unknown name.
Unlikely. The current iteration of the JF-17 is already pushing the limits of what the RD-33 can provide. The Block III might have greater percentage of composites but its AESA radar and newer EW/ECM systems will also add additional mass, making it less feasible to add drag-inducing CFTs.
