@ 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.

The link says this is the new PLANAF regiment. Nice photos, I guess this is fully converted now.

Hmmm ... honestly I'm a bit sceptical about these repeatedly appearing reports on a "C" ... not that there won't be one and even if I was always in hope for one with two engines, a larger wing and maybe two tails (like the fan-art we've seen so often :)) similar to a Sino-Typhoon, but with the latest unveilings of the J-20 I think the J-10B will be most likely the next serial version and after that only updates/modifications with a new engine - and I don't think of the WS-15 ! - new avionics and so on.

After that the next medium weight combat type will be a new design like the rumoured single-engined one.

«Рособоронэкспорт» заключил с минобороны КНР контракт на поставку авиадвигателей на сумму свыше $500 млн. Снабжать истребители собственными моторами китайцы пока не могут

Ведомости

04.07.2011, 120 (2886)

Контракт на поставку 123 авиадвигателей АЛ-31ФН до 2013 г. на сумму свыше $500 млн «Рособоронэкспорт» заключил с минобороны КНР в начале июня, сообщили «Ведомостям» источник, близкий к руководству «Рособоронэкспорта», и менеджер одного из предприятий авиапромышленности. По словам последнего, первые 13 двигателей будут поставлены до конца текущего года. Выполнять контракт будет московский завод «Салют», который и ранее поставлял двигатели этой модификации в Китай: 54 единицы по контракту в 2003 г., 100 — по контракту в 2007 г., 122 — в 2009 г.
......

... not sure if that's actually a new order !
