J-10 is capable of mid-air refueling so it is entirely possible for it to operate so far out on the South China sea. I don't think it landed on any of the islands since we heard no fuss from the media about it (like when J-11s did land).

The J-11s were operating from Yongxing island an actual legitimate island, which had hosted fighters for quite a few years before last.
AFAIK, none of the reclaimed island bases have had any fighters operate or land at them yet.

Seems to be in Northern region of China.Concerning the alleged test of a WS-10X on a J-10C a few days ago, we maybe can expect a similar image in a few years similar to this J-10A testing its AL-31FN.
