So by the PL-10, do you mean the Infared-homing one( PL-10 ASR) or the radar guided one in which case that would be a rather old missile.Not quite.
The first picture depicts a german IRIS-T missile. It clearly isn't even Chinese given the english writing around the seeker.
The second picture is a terrible adaptation of an ausairpower drawing of high offboresight missiles. It's obvious it isn't chinese in origin given the target is meant to be a PLA fighter.
The third and fourth pictures are legitimate photos of J-20 and J-16 carrying PL-10 missiles or PL-10 missile dummies.
the last picture is a CGI of PL-10, but not official.
This is the clearest image we have so far of PL-10, and it is a few years old already.

I assume you've googled PL-10 and maybe found the wikipedia article on the name? Ignore that article. The name of the missile they describe is PL-11, basically a Chinese version of AIM-7. For some reason they list it as PL-10. Later in the article they even describe DK-10 as derived from it, which is ridiculous because DK-10 is derived from PL-12.
PL-10 is the name of the new generation SRAAM, and is the only missile with that name.
Their pictures are old and I know of no relation to it to A-darter, but yes, PL-10 is in the same generation of AAM as AIM-9X, ASRAAM, IRIS-T, later R-73 variants, AAM-5
Truly no offence ... but forget APA !
Most of their - or better to say Carlo's - reports have only one aim: to tell that the F-22 is the best, the best and very best fighter in the world and the only option Australia has to avoid being overrun someday by either Russian or Chinese hordes ....

Ok, i'm a bit confused .... maybe some of the more knowledgeable members can create a thread of Chinese aircraft weapons (Missiles, Rockets and bombs) (PL-XX's, KJ-XX's and such) with a little table. I would just google it, but it seems wikipedia, APA, and other western sources are not reliable...
