Hmmm ... but they are there since the very first day of the J-10 !

Anything special I missed ???

No nothing new just illustration !

I wonder if they really discontinued manufacture for J-10As now that J-10Bs are fielded in numbers.

The J-10A still provides the Chinese' forces a F-16 Block-52-class fighter that adds a significant capability boost to the air force without bearing the risk of draining their budget (which might be the case with an overdependence of the Chinese on the J-10B).

I don't think there is a reason to produce old version with rectangular air inlet, even if they retain same avionics from A version for financial reasons .

To be honest J10B is really a 4th generation unit with 5th generation systems a really top of the line fighter

I haven't seen any new single seated J-10A's for some time. But I think that the twin seated J-10AS may still be in production. The J-10B may qualify as a 4+ generation fighter.

In the photo, four of China’s female fighter pilots of the Bayi Aerobatic Team back walking, back on the ground after training. These four female fighter pilots, who flew over Tiananmen Square in the parade to celebrate China's 60th National Day, then left China to take part in Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition on March 11. 2015.

Hehehe...for you Equation. I know you will like this report.
