J-10 Thread IV

Can we please stop this stupid BS? You know there are always some who have no idea, who are not interest in facts and only want to have fun ... but please not here.
But what was your question other than asking if ... was there a new argument in this discussion?
Look up the J-9 with canards. J-10 is a natural progression of J-9, and it does incorporate Israeli tech but the DESIGN (with canards) precedes Lavi by decade or more.
Definitely. I wonder if J-10 vs J-9 comparison has ever been created? That would prove even more evidence that China didn't copy-cat Lavi's canard design if J-9 is super similar to J-10.
So many clowns working at Chinese media. Wish someone who has a knowledge would check before posting a clip to media. It happened not the first time. It still hasn't been taken down.
Hm. But did you not say the first batch 6 plane photo was documented in November 2020? Or was that just a rumor, without a photo? A now this is the first time we actually have a photo?
0512 was photographed in May 2020. So 0619 in early July is pretty much the same cadence. Accounting for a month long New years work hiatus at the start of the year, I would say there are still high chances this 6th batch corresponds to a production pace of 40 something J10C per year. More precisely, it may correspond to 4 airframes per month, without one month worth of production. but of course, it's ludicrous to attempt such precise estimates based on so little info.

It was only a rumour and as far as I remember with a too blurry image with the number not readable. As such you are correct and most likely they are already producing Batch 07.
Actually I was not suggesting they're already producing batch 07. But you seem to think that's fairly plausible. ?
May I ask what do you base that assumption on? If the highest serial number we saw so far is 19-06, and if we saw it just now - how does that support the idea that the seventh batch must already be produced? Of course, I am not talking about long term pre-production items, but delivery of at least one batch 7 aircraft.
