Does anyone know more? According to this post, this J-10CE (cn. 9001) was built by the Guizhou Aircraft Company!

Shows that Chengdu AC is very much busy rolling out more and more J-20/As, such that (and also verifying) that the J-10 production has been moved to Guizhou AC in order to free up more production line slots for the J-20 production.

A highly encouraging development indeed, let alone a new assembly hall that's under construction at Chengdu (from 2023).

Plus, J-20 production-related matters aside, Guiyang AC also got their hands onto producing proper fighters too. Would be very useful for Guiyang to potentially serve as a secondary production site for the J-20/As and UCAVs in case the need arises.

In the meantime, perhaps Shenyang and Hongdu can also come to similar cooperation frameworks as well for those Sino Flankers...

as i told before, there is stiff competition going between provinces in all high tech industries.

Guizhou Aircraft Company is emerging a new player in aviation field. in April this year, local government announced to invest 5.2 Billion RMB investment in 22 different projects in GAIC.

Among these projects, 14 new projects worth 4.6 billion yuan have already begun construction, while another eight projects with a combined investment of 600 million yuan have been put into operation.

so this J-10C production is not a surprise for me. GAIC engine subsidy also build one of the largest ''Turbine blades'' production facility in China. WS-13/WS-21/WS-19 are their products.

I suspect Hongdu's huge new facility will be plenty busy with JL-10 and (especially) GJ-11 production to worry about Flankers.

When the photo of J15T on Fujian is out, I will use them to fool those EVA fans like “the TV series is in production”

Looks like we can actually see J-35A for the first time during its performance training flight, ~25 minutes from now.

If only you know how hard to get a damn ticket for it...also how expensive it is.

The appearance of su57 may indicate russia is seeking some sort co development.
