A couple of points.

1. WS-10 entering service on a single engine plane should remove all doubts regarding the engine's reliability.

2. This probably means CAC has run out of AL-31FN Series 3 engines. Notice that the first and only deal for the AL-31FN Series 3 occurred in 2011. CAC has not ordered any engines from Russia since.

AL-31FN engine on J-10B are just for testing out the whole airplane functionality,once completed will swapped out with WS-10B. This is to longer the lifespan of WS-10B and make full use of the spare AL-31FN engines available.

AL-31FN do not have the thrust of WS-10B and do not fulfil PLAAF needs for J-10B/C.
