That’s indeed another surprise: A new export J-10CE (J10CE9001) … and again a bit strange: Being a Batch 9 - and not 09?? - aircraft itself is not strange, but why are the first ones for export a dedicated Batch 01CE and here they are as it seems included into the regular Batch order?
Seems like this is the airshow that PLA fans have been dreaming of. Rather than one off prototype/export orientated displays along with a single new aircraft, they are basically dropping the whole lineup of next generation aircraft, UCAV and land based systems. I can't wait for the actual airshow to begin.
