Hi Deino, when you say first batch, do you mean first batch of j20a using ws10, if yes, what about those which use russian engines.

No, I meant Batch 01 are those with Russian AL-31F-XYZ variants even if some say only those with the WS-10C are called J-20A.
As such we have all so far confirmed J-20s at Dingxin (176. AB) are using Russian engines, Those at Cangzhou use the Russian one for the first four J-20s and the WS-10C from the fifth J-20, which is then a J-20A. All so far known at Wuhu (9. AB) again use the Russian engine and the single one confirmed from Anshan (1st AB) has WS-10C engines.
Sorry for the confusion.
Remember at the beginning of the year, there were several j20 (plus a dozen j10c) parked at cac factory, which are gone by now i suppose. Are we ever able to establish if those j20 are with al31 or ws10?
They are all with WS-10 and likely departed for Anshan.
Certainly possible, though reading that piece quite a few talking points, comparisons and citations sounded familiar to me, phrase by phrase.
I'm pretty sure most of those points I had raised in either of these two pieces, and many had not been published elsewhere before either.
Still, credit to at least be able to identify more up to date information.

Interesting missing man formation of the first flight, normally used to commemorate a fallen comrade.A 10-bird formation. Note that this image is a cropped version of the original.
Uh there's still 5 aren't there? Pretty sure the right side is just getting into formation...
