Can be it J10D once rumored as semi sealth with sealth coating and EW improvement to have less RCS

Don't know if there is really a D varaint, even if it does, it is very least likely to be semi stealth, not economically viable.

No changes for new J-10 at all except for engine and radar difference maybe electronic warfare material. Semi stealth idea is ridiculous. I guess could be more powerful engine or a thrust vector engine type of WS-10.

I don't give this "new" J-10 rumor too much credence, but Semi stealth is not that ridiculous depending on how stealthy they want. Say a 0.1m^2 frontal stealth (say 20 degree cone), does not care about any other angle is perfectly doable in low cost fashion.

ie, add structural absorber fillings on leading edge surfaces, saw-tooth treatment on trailing edges, semi-recessed carriage for two pl-15 under chin/intake...etc

Such upgrades still give very meaningful advantage in BVR fight.

Interesting ... or better to say GREAT!

But no new J-20A visible (the one in the left is an old airframe).

I will probably be off-topic a bit, but I found a very interesting canard design in J10. Most canard is symmetry section profile close to NACA00xx series, but J10 uses a complex twisted profile for canard. It seems it will generate lift at 0 AOA. Is it going to be more complex for aerodynamic design and FCS. What do you guys think? Does anyone know why they use this design?

News are in air Iran is pretty much interested to her good number of J10CE, any reality?
