Yepp this is the new KXD-2 ACMI-pod for PL-8-launchers ... and there's a similar one called KXD-P73 for R-73-launchers on the Flanker series.

Where was this picture taken? The crewman in blue t-shirt looks Pamiri or maybe Uyghur.

That's Turkish.

Do we have pictures of 7th batch under production?

I do not know if we have seen any in the construction halls, but 7-01 - 7-08 were seen conducting flight tests at Chengdu in December 2012.

Batch 7 has already been handed over to the PLAAF earlier this year. In the next weeks and months we will see the first batch of J-10B.

It seems highly doubtful that all the remaining 32 Lot 7 J-10A's have already been delivered. You will probably only see the last being handed over to the Navy at the end of 2013.

I do not think that is correct, it's one Regiment a year on average and 7th batch is only probably half way through construction, I can't see J10B so soon either

they can building 40+ a year quite easily.

Would anyone know what assembly area these J10b and J20 are in? The facilities look very new and there are extra assembly lines on this and the other side of the wall. I looks to be is a different manufacturing facility than pictures of where old j10a were built. It makes sense to improve capacity in preparation for new gen projects.

Did anyone see these photos before?
