Below is a satellite image posted by A.Man in the J-20 thread: J-20 5th Generation Fighter VII
On the side of J-20 fighters, the two smaller planes look like JL-10 trainers. They can be used for exercises such as emulating J-20's formation flying and playing the role of aggressor aircraft.

Ukrainian manufacturer of jet engines Motor Sich has agreed to a record $800 million contract with People’s Liberation Army for turbofan AI-322 engine production, according to multiple reports.
The story was first reported by Defense Express, which cited a defense industry source that stated that China is buying a batch of 400 AI-322 engines for JL-10 fighter trainer aircraft and its L-15 export version.
The JL-10 is a new type of supersonic jet trainer and light combat aircraft developed by the state-run Aviation Industry Corporation of China, or AVIC.
AVIC says the JL-10 has a maximum speed of 1,200 kilometers per hour and a maximum flight range of 2,600 km.
Trainer jets for advanced application teach student pilots how to operate supersonic aircraft and how to carry out sophisticated aerial maneuvers, while those for lead-in fighter training are enhanced versions of advanced jet models and focus on familiarizing trainees with combat maneuvers and skills.
The aircraft made its maiden flight on 13 March 2006. The aircraft’s general designer is Mr. Zhang Hong, and development had reportedly been completed alongside Yakovlev OKB of Russia.
On July 1, 2013, the first batch of JL-10 began delivery to the PLAAF. Chinese Air Force and later Naval Air Force are highly satisfied with the aircraft’s all-around performance, high reliability, cost-effectiveness, as well as its great multi-role update potentials, easy maintainability, and a service life of over 10,000 flying hours.
The Chinese light combat aircraft has two Ukrainian-made AI-322 engines.
AI-322 turbofan engine is designed to power modern trainers and light combat aircraft of L-15 or Yak-130 types, etc. According to Motor Sich’s website, the engine ensures maximum operational safety in flight and increased combat effectiveness with long service life and low operating costs.

But some of them are built in Chinese factory because they already set up local manufacturing in China. It is legacy of yakovlev design assistance and Not sure if the Chinese analogue is ready
Would be interesting to know the number of Chinese made components in these local manufactured engines.
Really? Any info on where this factory is located and which company runs it?
To admit I thought this was always the plan but until now all engines were Ukrainian ones.

Sky ryzon hold 80% of motor sich share the rest are hold by Ukrainian government. The plan is to wholly owned the rest It was held up by Ukrainian government If you dig hundred of pages in Chinese engine thread there is article about China building facility to locally built engine complete with Ukrainian town and churches I posted when I find it
The DCH deal needs approval from Ukraine’s national regulator, the State Antimonopoly Committee.
Skyrizon holds around 80% of Motor Sich though several foreign companies. The remainder is held by small shareholders.
Last year, the Antimonopoly Committee started an investigation into Skyrizon’s stake in Motor Sich.
The Committee spokeswoman told Reuters on Wednesday that the regulator was continuing this investigation
DCH, owned by Ukrainian businessman Oleksandr Yaroslavsky, said the regulator had 135 days at most to make its decision on its plan to buy 25% of Motor Sich.
“We will seek fairness and protection of our investments in court by all legal means,” DCH said.
