@ Martian, for J-10 Vigorous Dragon pictures
It is very nice for you to call the J-10 its official name "Vigorous Dragon" - esp. while netizens in China themslves follow the notorious nickname 棍子 - either from bad-joke-translation of rumored NATO designation "Thug" (Chinese: 恶棍); or naive interpret from the early release of J-10A pics with "reinforcing bars" (which, "bar" is 棍子)
The PLAAF has officially call it 猛龙 Vigorous Dragon.
