Inner pylons could theoretically be made missile adaptable but the process takes so long that it is impractical.

Why is that?

Why is that?

It's an issue with the design. Do keep in mind that the basic airframe was first developed in the late 1990s.

Why is that?

From what I read, the fuel tanks are attached in a way that they are not simply detached but they are connected in quite a complicate way. So if you want to remove the tanks, certain panels on top of the wings need to be opened ... and so on, so that most often they are left as they are.

I think somewhere on my harddrive I have an image showing that ...

But picture shows the inner pylon of J10c can carry laser bomb, why not PL15?

Quite intriguing to see PL-15E on the planes and not PL-15. Perhaps the Chinese still did not want to sell the PL-15? Or perhaps PAF has assessed that the PL-15E are sufficient for the threat environment.

I suppose China may be willing to provide the non-export variants during a war time scenario?

I have a theory, and this is based on what China has done with long range guided rocket artillery. The dual-pulse motor is still there. However, there is a software toggle preventing it from being activated in the export version. If the situation is dire, the override switch could be provided.

That is a really interesting theory. Thanks for sharing.
