Sorry, but your whole post about NATO/ASCC names is irrelevant and - besides that I'm not interested in this stuff - far away from my statement you disagreed. I never mentioned these reporting names and indeed they are a political issue. My only point is, you contradicted to the J-10CY designation and - at least I read it that way - assumed they would be J-10D, what they are in fact not.
Pardon, but I still don't get your intention and as such you looooong post?
You started this all with a reply to my post: "From my understanding there is still no J-10D and these are called J-10CY similar to the former J-10AY flown by the "Ba Yi"!" and lectured something like "And why do you suppose they're labeling them that way?"
The answer is plain and simple, WE KNOW it: Just look at the construction number of known J-10-variants and you know how CAC and the PLAAF designates:
J-10A
J-10AH
J-10SH
J-10A here as an unofficially called AY
J-10B
J-10C
... and even a PAF J-10CE
As such it is no mystery how the PLAAF designates its J-10-series and even if we don't have a official document that mentions the "Ba Yi" J-10s named as J-10CY - in fact they are just Batch 07 J-10C - we know that they are not called J-10D:
Quite the contrary. You missed my whole point even though you claimed you understood it despite not agreeing with it. Whether CAC or PLAAF is besides the point, I was referring to an actual NAME of an aircraft and used the Russian ones as an example(s). Many examples as a matter of fact and since Russia has been the US' and NATO's greatest threat and foe, it's slowly but SURELY being replaced by China and it's only a matter of time before they start designating their own silly codenames for Chinese aircraft. When a J-16 is intercepting a Poseidon and coming within 10ft (like the US claimed), it won't be long before they call it the "J-loong" or something along those lines, just like they did with the Russians who finally smarted up and named their latest creation the Checkmate because now that forces any enemy of Russia to use it by its own name and not some made up piece of rubbish that could even be perceived ON PURPOSE as an insult such as the Felon. You see my point?
Or was it that my point expanded on yours regarding the designations of just J-10D then J-10CY similar to the former J-10AY flown by the "Ba Yi and like I mentioned the same thing was discussed regarding the J-20, so there is a correlation. My only hope is the US & NATO don't start pulling off their purposeful shenanigans even insults on Chinese aircraft.
