what your trying to say is that the j10b is built with a high level of redundancy.

Everything needs a backup in case first option failed. But J-10B/C is build in mind to compete with Typhoon and Rafale.

That made my day !!

K2S’s J-10B 10631 @Deino

NICE, that really made my day, since it confirms Beast's claims to be wrong ! The J-10B is in operational service regardless if it will wait for the Taihang.

However it also opens the next riddle: First it confirms the 2. Division, which was long rumoured, however it also confirms, that not the 4. Regiment at Foshan (a J-8-unit) received the J-10B, but the 5. Regiment replacing the "older" J-10A models. Would be interesting to know, who then receives them !?

It is not operation. It is just doing routine testing of airframe and system. After that, it will swap out the engine with taihang WS-10B before fully joining the squadron.
So far, no J-10B has reported participate in any exercise or patrol. They only stuck at CAC centre to do testing. None of them is operational yet.

If You prefer to stick to that opinion ... just hold on !

Two news ... first of all an operational - sorry Beast, for You a "non-operational" - J-10B with its serials psed !

... and second: here are 16 J-10s seen at Hotan (N37°02.2′E079°52.1′) ... is this a new regular unit or a forward deployment only ?

all 3 j10/b prototypes
1031

1035
i think this is powered by the ws10/b engine

1034

You missed '1033' !
