Well there were some recent activities with JL-10 and the Navy, but nobody knows if they intend to use it as a carrier trainer.

Indeed !!! :) ... COMAC C919-test, Type 001A launch and now this !??? IT#S like Christmas & Eastern on the same day.

However 78437 is unique, it would mean 172. Brigade ... or again from the new serial-numbering system?

Also interesting
The latest image (April 2017) confirmed that the first batch of JL-10 has finally entered the service with PLAAF (S/N 78x3x), wearing a light blue color scheme. It was rumored (March 2017) that a naval variant (JL-10H?) has entered the service with PLAN as well.

Q-5 Replacement?
Click to expand...

I can imagine that it would be a good Q-5 replacement for the Q-5s export customers.

But the weapons mix on the display looks more "multi-role" than "ground attack" to me, so it might be meant to show off its capabilities as a trainer for multi role aircraft (or perhaps as a low cost multi-role aircraft for those who can't afford anything more expensive ?).
