J-10 Thread IV

[Deino]

You remember that I questioned about the existence and of difference between B and C variants? I wondered why you guys were so sure. If I was aware of this kind of evidence, I would not have questioned.

Maybe I missed your question back then, but we know J10C0Xxx numbers since years.

J-10SH with the number that looks like 23 (@东部战区，Eastern Theater):

 

[11226p]

-------------
500 ?

May I ask what’s the basis of your numbers? ... since I have very different ones.

just a rough estimation from my side is:

J-10 - 72 (Batch 01-03)
J-10A - 160 (Batch 04-07)
J-10B - 56 (Batch 01)
J-10C - 196 (Batch 02-05 + Batch 06 running)
-------------
484+

Does that include the S variants?

 

[Bhurki]

Does that include the S variants?

'A' includes 'S'

My initial numbers are gravely wrong. I got mixed up trying to find assigned units to each base.

As far as I know, j10 and j10s combined reached 300 airframes.

Today is the 23rd anniversary of J-10’s first flight!

Look how hard it was for Dr. Song and his colleagues when they were developing the aircraft. Respect!



Let’s commemorate the occasion with an official image of WS-10 J-10C.

May I ask, why it is "official"? PS + a larger version.

From Henry K
Interviewed by CCTV reporters, a Northern Command J-16 pilot said the J-16 was tied in air combat against the J-10C during exercises in 2020. "Our (only) advantages: There are two of us in a J-16, and we have two engines".
