There's just way too much simple computer graphics.Actually, after a bit of internet search, as it turns out, China DID make a movie imitating Top Gun...
I Watched China’s ‘Top Gun’ — So You Don’t Have To
‘I feel the need, the need for 速度!’
by KYLE MIZOKAMI
The Chinese government wants to take you into the danger zone. In 2011 Beijing released Sky Fighters, China’s answer to Top Gun. Like Top Gun, it’s about fighter pilots waging aerial war for their country.
But that’s where the comparison ends. Made by the Chinese military as domestic propaganda, Sky Fighters is possibly the worst movie with fighter planes ever made. And that’s saying a lot.
The film imitates Top Gun relentlessly in scene after scene, but in many ways it’s the American film’s exact opposite. While Top Gun is proof that a cheesy film can still be immensely enjoyable, Sky Fighters proves that a movie with fighter planes can actually be pretty awful.

While the movie sucked, the differences in psychology were interesting. In Top Gun, we're given the POV of a rebellious fighter pilot defying his superiors while in Sky Fighters, the story is told from the POV of a commander trying to reign in a rebellious fighter pilot. The latter seems to be more realistic, if not less inspirational.
Those four look like 100, 105, 106 and 108.
There are at least ten...probably more.
The production aircraft we have seen are:
100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, and 109.
Add to that the six prototypes:
551, 552, 553, 554, 555, and 556
You can see pictures of all of them and a lot more at:

Do we have any information on what kind of radar J-15 is using?
