J-10 Thread IV

[Insignius]

So, we are now looking at roughly 50+ J-10Bs, right?

That should be enough for two regiments... Assuming one is the Flight Test Center, the other needs to be a frontline unit.

There is still tantalizingly little evidence on whether they are in service within PLAAF.

Are they still at CAC? If not, then I think it is a good bet to say they're at least delivered to the Air Force.

The J-10B Pics from Adam.Y today was taken at CAC, but we have seen J-10B pics perviously not at CAC in this thread already. I think J-10B are currently in service right now, but we just don't know the exact numbers at this point only.

Like I said ... I think I should be away from home much more often.

And the serial on that J-10B .... Isn't the first number a 5?

 

[Blackstone]

So, do all J-10Bs have AESA radars or only some?

 

[Deino]

I think that is impossible to know from these images, more important however is, there is more than one WS-10-powered j-10b or I would say C ... Looks very much like in Production already.

The fourth picture looks a bit like PS, because the second plane looks bigger than the closer one. However, maybe I am looking at a wrong angle.

It does look kind of strange maybe due to we are looking at the closer J-10B almost from behind, and the other J-10B farther away is from the side and therefore seems much large with it's profile.

Our eyes are playing tricks with our brains. If you measure the two jets engines with a pen or ruler you will see the closer J-10B is actually bigger.

Looks legit to me. I believe the illusion is caused by the telephoto or zoom lens which compresses the depth of field, thus making the nearer J-10 look smaller.
