J-10 Thread IV

And J-10A since when no longer produced ?

Oh well ... I think already with the change from A to B ... since December 2013 J-10Bs are produced and the final batch 7 J-10A I know is from January 2014.

B with PL-8, C with PL-10

MOD released some HD photos of last year "Red Sword" exercise. Here is the one of J-10Bs. Seems everyone has got an ECM pod.

Indeed ... that's the KG-600

Would it be correct to assume J-10Bs could be upgraded to J-10Cs during an MLU?

I'd expect when J-10B need MLU, the standard will be higher, perhaps J-10F

.. spot the differences between J-10B &J 10C!....

J-10B..

J-10C...

top J-10C, bottom J-10B..

... the nose...

...and the back...

Are you sure there is even an official designation called "J-10C"? It seems the differences between them are miniscule compared to the differences between A and B, so miniscule perhaps as to even be unworthy of a separate letter.

J-10B already in service

now comes the yellow bird J-10C...some might have been commissioned..
re#1398.. thanks, look carefully, there are small differences, hence I post these pics for comparison...

There's an ancient tradition in Imperial China to tie a red ribbon around an artillery piece before induction. Looks like they've carried it over to fighter jets.
