What did Chinese do to J-10B, something been done to the nose cone again or its the picture.

No,

the J-10 with black nose in the pics is J-10A while the one with grey nose and IRST is J-10b ,may be thats why you got confused .there is no change ,same nose cone we first saw in the very first J-10B

No i didn't give a look at J-10A, I am taking about J-10B because the slop dropped nose cone looks even slimmer then the previous J-10B pics or as i said could be the angle from which pic taken..

i dont see anything changed. perhaps the bad picture quality and the truck behind the jet too, giving extra bright shade to bottom of the nose.

The 10B seems having a tinted canopy. Some kind of test for J20?

No, its because of the background and the color of the wall

this pic will give you a better idea

There are two things that i can think of
1- The serial and color scheme indicating J-10B is in active service now ( Last time some chinese brother mentioned that J-10B is likely to enter service in 2010) so if the serial is 1031 then it could effectively mean that the aircraft is in service since 2010.
2- This is a photoshoped pic to show that J-10B is in service.
So the curx is that Either J-10B is in service or about to enter service

if the J-10B is in service then the AESA radar is probably done.

i don't think it is a photoshoped ,yeah the thing to notice as you mention is that the color scheme changed from yellow to grey that is an indication of being in service or atleast it has gone through initial flight testing .

as you must have remembered the 4th prototype of jf-17 although was not inducted into the PLAAF but still it has greyish color scheme with red markings on it .

So J-10b should have gone through the testing phase and now it is in advance phase

very likely.... here have a look

That thing what is circled is light emitter. You have the same on the tail. It reduces RCS (no external device with a mirror) and it can control the light so you can control who sees you form what distance. These were long time standard on naval planes.

With the speed of how the Chinese develope their 5G technologies, In 2015, Pakistan might have a good chance to receive its J10s loaded with ASEA, Tinted Canopy, RAM, WS10x? with more power, increased composite usage, reduced weight, DSI, and improved BVRM. That would be as good as any 4++ fighters available in the market. However, these would also add cost to the plane. From what I observe in this forum, I do not believe Pakistan would invest in J10 if it is not significantly more advance than its F16s.

Best PS I've seen. Hopefully the real paintwork is going to be like this.
