NATO's ability to conduct multi-national combat training could be transformed if a 24-aircraft system being proposed by a Dutch-based company takes off.
The integrated opposing force (IOPFOR) concept now being promoted by ECA Program would see a new fleet of privately-owned and operated lightweight fighters provide an aggressor training service for Alliance nations.
Platform candidates include the Chengdu J-10, RSK MiG-35 and Saab Gripen, with ECA chief executive and IOPFOR manager Melville ten Cate expecting to announce a selection in mid-May.

Facing the highly agile & maneuverable J10s with smaller RCS will always be very tough for the J11s unless they are equipped with significantly better avionics & missiles. But those are exactly some of the main reasons you want big airframes like J11 anyway. To be able to put your most powerful radar & missiles, and more of them, onto them to overcome disadvantages like bigger RCS while enjoying their advantages like bigger range & payloads.
I doubt those J11B in the contest had the latest PLAAF radars, preferably AESA, or BVR missiles. Don't think there are many of such well equipped J11 yet.
J-11B supposed to be the better flanker variant..
But what you say its true.. Big RCS and and the huge presence of flanker is a big disadvantage for dogfight. You just can't miss the huge beast flying in visual eye range. I believe the competition pits itself mainly in dogfight area. Because this is the area where it exhibit the sheer handling skill of a fighter pilot.
In this sense, J-20 shall try all means to avoid a dogfight with any fighter.. Even with great agility, the huge presence of J-20 makes a great disdvantage of it. If I am the designer of J-20, I will put agility of it in the last list of criteria....
