From Rick Joe on 12 April:
New pic of JH-7/A testing PL-X VLR AAM from Huitong.
JH-7/A is A2G focused, not A2A + also relatively old, not very advanced avionics.
?Significant - reinforces idea PL-X relies on offboard sensors to exploit its range, reinforcing idea PLAAF has/will have CeC-esque capability.
CEC = Cooperative Engagement Capability
