J-10C 223

Interesting ! So at least 53 batch 01 aircrafts + now at least 23 batch 02 aircrafts = 76 J-10Bs flying; enough for three fully equipped regiments.

Even more, 2-13 was spotted exactly one month ago ... not sure if one can conclude the production rate, but at least 10 J-10Bs since then.

This is my follow-up of the aircrafts from Batch 2 with dates that they are spotted for the first time, it might help us undirectly to assess the production rate.

By the way, I would like to request help from all of you to complete my photos collection for all those serial missing in my list, I'll hight appreciate your help.

Thank you in advance.

Did I miss some more differences between the J-10B and J-10C ??

 

[barbarosa]

i think if china govt provide transit route to nepal it will be very profitable for both countries.

Deino is there anyway you can provide me a rough estimate of how many j10s of all kinds are service with both the pla and plan.I know that is a lot to ask but you seem very knowledgeable. Thanks

Please don't tell those strangers the specific data or critical info if they ask, it threatens the national security.

Thanks ! ... to admit I once made a list of all J-10A/AS produced sorted by production batch ... but then lost to continue.

Another maybe simply but not completely correct way could be to simply summarise the operational units: a regular PLAAF-unit has 24 single seater + 4 trainer, while the PLANAF unit has 16 J-10A and 8 J-10AS ... also 28 aircraft per unit.

With now the following units for the J-10A/AH/AS/ASH/AY/SY:

9 PLAAF regiments or brigades = 28x 9 = 252
1 PLANAF regiment = 1x 9 = 9
1 test-regiment FTTC = 9 identified ac. = 9
1 demo-team Ba Yi = 12 ac. = 12

= altogether 282 J-10A/AH/AS/ASH/AY/SY ... excluding prototypes and pre-serials

For the J-10B (assumed):

1 test-regiment FTTC = evtl. also 9 identified ac. = 9
1 PLAAF regiment = 24 ac (since no J-10BS exists)
+ now more build at CAC

= altogether 76 ac. spotted (enough for nearly two more regiments) ... excluding prototypes and pre-serials


So all J-10s together we have more than 358 ... again excluding prototypes and pre-serials.

Oh come on ! everyone with a little math can do that ... that's not "national security" !

Thanks Deino, don't worry I'm not a spy. Lol. In fact I want the Chinese to get military strong. I hope when production is over they will build at least 1000 j 10's. Cheers.

Two more redy for delivery or already during delivery ... sadly again with ps'ed serails.

I read news, it's about 11th J-10 crash in China since J-10A and J-10S joint PLAAF. This one is J-10HS, Navy J-10 two-seat fighter. China equiped 300+ J-10A(S) fighters, those years crashed 11x ... seems no bad, isn't it?
