Hi, J-10A is not that important anymore. PLAAF in phase to retired most J-10A and replace with J-10C. Gifting some to NK is not that impossible plus, u think NK will pass J-10A aerodynamic secret to US?
Finally, China is no more nice guy to play within UN rules when Australia bypass nuclear...

It seems to me that is the reverse. The one with ceramic petal are afterburner version while the one with traditional dark charcoal petal are non afterburner version.
Why would Hongdu bring an non afterburner version to Dubai Air show for flying demo? They try hard not to win any deal and waste...
