Number is secret, but now J-10A closed and China only mass produce J-10B ... like former 260x J-10A fighters.

Obviously,J-10B is not our first jet equiped with AESA radar.

 

[Shotgunner51]

Wow I didn't imagine they will deploy as many as 260 J10A, that's quite a lot

Oh? Was it J11 series that first equipped with AESA?

J-15 & KJ-2000

J-15 & KJ-2000

KJ2000 understandable, it has enough space to carry electronics of bigger sizes.
But J-15 with AESA is remarkable, given that space is very limited.

J-15 & KJ-2000

Don't BS like that, current block of J-15 is NOT equipped with AESA. The presence of the Pitot tube on the front of the production batch J-15 is indicative of the lack of AESA.

Where as J-16, which is equipped with AESA, has already taken off its pilot tube on the front radar dome.

theres still hundreds of j-7, older j-8s in service since the only fighters in production is j-10 and flankers its perfectly normal to expect 200+ to be built

Right. If J10 plays the role similar to that of F16/F35 in USAF, then PLAAF needs to deploy quite a lot of its kind until FC-31 replaces it.

Serial #s are not so publicly advertised by the PLAAF. What is shown in this picture is 14 J-10B, which is half a squadron worth of fighters. There are now two squadron of J-10B in service including this newly inducted batch.

Yes, but - forgive my interest ... my BIG interest - I would like to know what this second unit You mentioned. So far the first unit - albeit more an OCU or test unit is the 170. Brigade ... but what's the second one ??
