Is there any indication that the Pakistani J-10C and JF-17 are wired with American missiles?
JF-17 could fire AIM-9 but BVR missiles are a lot harder to integrate. By all accounts PAF consider the SD-10 to be on par with the AIM-120C5, so there is no drive to integrate.

Not sure there would be need to integrate inferior weaponry at this point in time.
And I don't think Americans or Chinese would be particularly pleased about it.
At the end of the day, there is no need for it. Pakistan has sufficient Amrrams for its current F-16 fleets and Sd-10s and PL-15s for the Chinese based fleet.
What's more important is can F-16 talk to JF-17 and J-10 and vice versa? From what Ive heard, yes. Pakistan has integrated all it's assets to locally developed CnC systems, providing a very detailed situational picture sourced from assets of multiple origins.
I do wonder if Erieyes could guild Amraams, SD-10s and PL-15s
Indeed - so far no. 22-311 was the highest number known - and this is at least per my record, the first one seen built in 2023!
Would be interesting to know which one between 311 and 318 was the first from 2023?!
