images from weibo ID:Guokr Defense，a pretty reliable source, second pic may indicate 7 LRIP birds will be coming out

May be more than you think!

To admit, even if this '2103' looks to be different to the '2102' I have the very badd feeling it again is a ps-job done by using the "2" and doctoring a bit around.

Even more - my feeling says so - this all proceeds too fast to be good and maybe there's a secret special operations unit right now at CAC preparing a bunch of these images, posting them to the net and were laughing about our comments ...

At least by now I would not bet any mony on them.

I have the same feeling...

But at the same time, when I look at the details of the paint s/n of 2101, and the supposed "2102 and 2013" -- all three numbers seem to have unique paint patterns for each number relative to each other, in a way which would be consistent with using stencils+spray paint to create a serial number for each aircraft. Specifically, each number of each s/n have their own "patterns" of discolouration of the red paint.

If/when we find out someone PSing and trying to pull one over, I do commend him or her for putting a lot of effort in.

Exactly my thougths ! The red clour is not pained in a constant layer but has some mis-matches or "pattern" as You call them. And all are a bit different. So there is indeed a chance of them to be real ... however again my feeling tells me to be careful.

Another larger version of the image ... and even if it still looks "doctored" the darker line on the left aircraft is missing ... Strange, very strange !!???

the left one is not real,probably

 

[Deino]

After a quick check and comparison to the few images of '2101' we know so far, I think at least the left one is the same with some modifications to the building behind. The right one however is not the same !

both photos, if not PSed, were likely taken from exactly the same spot

awe?? shoot, but I imagine 2102 will follow shortly after the Chinese New Year??, and I really do not expect 2103 until the next "batch" which have been in batches of 4 aircraft??? possibly in the late summer or fall of 2016??
