Interesting positioning of the SD10 missiles below the canards. Mistake or for real? No real pictures showing this.
 
J-10B/C able to carry 8 PL-12, 2 PL-10, and one fuel tank for anti air mission. Back hardpoints cannot carry air missiles, fuel tank or pod. Only some small bombs. One underwing hardpoint can dual carry PL-12. Maybe we can replace those PL-12 with PL-15 capability. This nearly is same as J-16 or J-11 carriage capability. Only problem for J-10 is it makes the plane very heavy.
 
J-10 has eleven hardpoints, two of which are under the chin of the intake. Those two chin hardpoints seem to be mainly for targeting pods, though it is interesting to see BVRAAMs placed there on the miniature model.

Yeah, the J-10 would become less of a dogfighter and more of a missile truck. J-11 and J-16 would be more ideal for the missile truck duty due to their large size and long range.
