my understanding is this aircraft is from an active brigade in STC, so has been in service for a well.seems to be a clear hint, it is in service now?!

Is it a common loadout, to have one Pl-17, or was it for a parade/testing?J-16 with 4 x PL-15, 4 x PL-10, one PL-12 and one PL-17.
Pixel measurement based on PL-10E and PL-15E data, the PL-17 has a length of 5744 mm, significantly larger than PL-15.

yeah. last year missile color was white. blue means already in service. now guess the range of PL-17 ..
So that means the PL-17 could've been in active service with the PLAAF for quite some time already, likely not a recent event... Wondering how's the status of PL-20 and PL-21 now?Last year? This image is from November 2016 and IMO most likely shows only a captive missile ...
