Btw some information about the weapons systems
PL-5EII ASRAAM
GENERAL
PL5E-Ⅱis an improved 3rd generation short-range IR air-to-air missile, which features good anti-jamming capability and all-aspect attack capability.
Dominance of PL-5EⅡ:
Good target detection performance
All-aspect attack
Anti-jamming capability
Helmet mounted sight (HMS) slaving
Sufficient overload capability
Dual-band multi-element IR seeker possesses a sound anti IR decoy capability;
Precise laser fuse provides a sound anti-interference capability;
Excellent maneuverability with a Max. overload up to 35 g;
HE fragmentation warhead provides a high kill efficiency;
Small size and light weight provide good carriage adaptability;
Lateral loading and launching on the wing-tip can be realized;
Fire-and-forget guarantees the high survivability of the platform A/Cs.

Interesting thing to note is that Why JF-17 uses PL5EII is perhaps because it can be fired from wingtip, unlike like PL-9C which does not have this ability and thus usually being carried on under-wing stations
