J-10 Thread IV

All J-10 are 650+. But J-10C are 350+. Only J-10D would survive after 2023. J-10 A/B would be retiring or to be used for initial training of new pilots to be transferred to J-10D. J-10D would be kept upto 500 before moving to next phase.
There is no aircraft called J-10D and I hadn't seen anything credible that suggests more than 300 J-10C exist.
Really? First there is no J-10D and I‘m pretty sure the PPLAAF will not retire any J-10C soon.
But we've see J-10A being upgraded to J-10AG standard, presumably with an AESA radar.
That makes them still suitable for frontline use in the counter-air role or second-line role at a minimum, like we've seen with the J-11BG
So I expect another 10 years of service life at least.
Yes, but we have seen so far only ONE J-10 being allegedly upgraded with an AESA to AG standard, but since then nothing more.

Say what?!?!
Probably taken on 27th? Guessing since there’s only 4 in the shot and on 27th only 4 jets took off instead of the usual 6.A nice image of the August 1st aerobatic team performing at the Air Force Day event held in Changchun.
