J-10 Thread IV

I would say "simply" a J-10B ... but regarding the two antennas on the spine this is "maybe" a J-10C !?

The Chinese forums say this is J-10C's latest flight.

Another photo from the flight:

Here's a new photo of J-10B, with only one antenna on the spine (sorry Deino, no serial number):

Thanks a lot again my friend ... indeed a very nice image of a beautiful bird !

By the way, here are 16 J-10s seen at Hotan (N37°02.2′E079°52.1′) ... is this a new regular unit or a forward deployment only ?

J-10 at Hotan - 16x - 24.11.15.jpg

Hudong said all new J10Bs will be of the "C" variant and no more "B" will be built

It turns out block II are they ones with antenna on the spine which he says constitute a "C" variant

So block II are the "C" and he said this before any block II ever appeared

So he must know something we don't ?

Interesting ! So at least 53 batch 01 aircrafts + now at least 23 batch 02 aircrafts = 76 J-10Bs flying; enough for three fully equipped regiments.

Even more, 2-13 was spotted exactly one month ago ... not sure if one can conclude the production rate, but at least 10 J-10Bs since then.

gooosh, already 76 J-10B!, already more powerful than most air force in the world (outside top 20).

Is it normal the number of aircraft per batch is 53 ? .. a bit too high to me
