Ofc in relation with precedent posts sometimes possible have infos, some... but not for combattants

I think replace JL-8 ? i have 350, sources say 190 - 400 and 20 JL-9 normaly they don' t need more USAF for same numbers of fighters have also about 400 trainers.

they are in different class. JL-10 would be replacing JJ-7.
