Pictures from Chinese websites showing JF-17 supporting multiple SD-10s on two extra hard points in addition to the seven seen in the image in the back ground.

Extra Hard point, or dual missile rack launcher?

 

[Windjammer]

So technically the JF-17 can now carry same amount of missiles as the F-16, as well as the extra drop tanks.

 

[Fieldmarshal]

The actual no. Of hard points in a block 3 will be 10.
If u include the chin mounted pod

I believe they are extra hard points as dual launch rails have a different layout.

Drop tanks too look a little modified.

The hardpoints on the JF-17 look attached to the wing rather than slung under it as in J-10 ....possibly due to the fact that J-10 being bigger has more ground clearance.

 

[jermankill]

so this is block 3?

 

[Maxpane]

6 sd10 or 7?

with 6 sd 10 how many bombs it can carry?

They are dual racks.

If those are tanks then they are modified. I thought they were cruise missiles
