Chinese Trainer Aircraft (JL-8, JL-9, JL-10 (L-15), etc.)

Interesting ... seems to be a lighter grey that the Zambian one but a PLAAF JL-10 I would have expected something different !
A hint could be the pitot, since the Zambian had none.

Does that mean the Zambian one uses the rumored PESA radar?

A new customer perhaps?
Maybe ... but isn't it more likely that this is indeed the first PLAAF-aircraft than another so for un-announced foreign customer ??
I wish that Guizhou would just convert all the JL-9's into the new configuration with the broad wing, all-moving slats, DSI intakes and CFTs.
And then hint that better engine and radars are available (at a very reasonable cost) to the customer.
Then the PLAAF scraps all it's old JJ-7's and gets the new JL-9's.
After all, the old birds are practically obsolete, and the JL-9 isn't expensive...
Just wishing...
