Sorry again if I misunderstood your reply and even more if you rated mine as an offensive return. I was only unsure, since in Germany the term "smug" or "selbstgefällig" has a very negative connotation in the meaning of "hochnäsig" (snooty or supercilious!)

Sorry for the misunderstanding.



Interesting news, that raises some more interesting questions?

WHY ... ? Are there any issues? Maybe related to the engines? Do they wait for a certain item or even occasion?

We know these WS-10B-powered J-10Cs are in production since mid-2019 but we haven't seen a single operational one in a PLAAF brigade yet?

That’s not correct strictly speaking.

Part about WS-10 J-10 not entering operational units. I thought that 4th batch of J-10s started equipping WS-10 or am I wrong?

Oh well, now you got me!

To admit, I'm not sure ... the first WS-10-powered J-10C with a construction number visible was cn. 042x (the x was hidden), so MAYBE all Batch 04 J-10Cs are using the Taihang or - and that is what I thought but I have no image to prove it - right in the middle of that batch, they switched from AL-31FN to WS-10B?

The next number I know is 0431 and 0440 with WS-10.

Well my angle was that you are smug as in your knowledge wisdom understanding prediction elevates you slightly. alternatively you can be smug as someone who is royally pompous.

I can understand that it was received negatively so apologies.

Can someone please post some pics of J-10 A, B and C so I can get an idea of the different models?

Does the J-10 follow the block version approach or is it model based?
