Chinese Trainer Aircraft (JL-8, JL-9, JL-10 (L-15), etc.)

Any news if the indigenous engine will be used in mass production? Now is not the best time to depend on Ukrainian engines.

Again !!! What's the source of this number ?

Is there a fairing or something missing from that picture taken between the engines?

They can just leave a open hole in there can they?
Or is it an exhaust port for something?

I saw this too and my first impression was, there is someone mixing an image of an early F/A-18 Hornet - all details are exactly like a Hornet, even the AIM-7 Sparrow AAMs - with a news report ??
