Yeah. Could they be only some slots where the fixed fins will be mounted before launch?

Although the number of the 4th generation fighter aircraft of the Chinese Air Force exceeded 1000 aircraft, the demand of the new generation fighter aircraft, which still has more than 1,300 old models left, is at least 700 aircraft. Its own country needs 100 aircraft a year, requiring seven years for all renewal. This is one reason why I bought SU-35.

J- 10C and J -16 are two regiments each year. 10 J-15 annual production. J-20 produces 10 aircraft each year with LRIP. There are 10 more Su-35s, which is over 100 machines.
The number is amazing, but there is a cause. The Chinese Air Force's still active 3 rd generation fighter (J-7/8 · Q-5) had over 1,100 aircraft, and the early 4 th generation aircraft was about 200 Aircraft.

What happened to the J-6s?

There were rumors that the PLAAF was working on turning the J-6s into drones. There were even talks about how swarms of such drones can occupy the adversary's air defense systems for the manned strikers to go in safely. I think so far there has been no such "J-6 based drone" spotted though.

Was that rumor just a fanboy fantasy? Or was the project cancelled early on?
