Yes, would be very cheeky to have J-10 near Rafale.....but funny too!

people would love to see that, including all young Chinese, but our men behind the desk always like to "avoid issues".

The J-35A is just show, not for export.
For example: J-20,GJ-11......

Currently, J-35 or FC-31? The official agency has not officially confirmed it.
=========================
Regarding the question of whether the J-35A (WS-19) can be exported, it is mainly because the AECC currently does not agree to the export of the WS-19 engine. As for whether the AECC will agree to the export of the WS-19 in the future, some people are still doing relevant work.

They used the PAF J-10C in the poster.

Interesting, Nice marketing catch

High-definition photos of the PLAAF's J-10C and the self-use versions of the PL-15 and PL-10. Can you spot the differences between them and PAF?

Hey @Deino ,

Why do the brigade numbers for early J-10s not match up with production in your book?

"Overall, the modern PLAAF/PLAN consists of around 57 (+/-2) combat-ready ‘fighter’ brigades, not counting additional flight test and training units, some of which are also flying Flanker versions.

Of these, four are flying J-10A, two are operating J-10B and seven are using J-10C."

Surely the Chinese produced more than 4 brigades (100 to 120 units) in a decade from 2004 to 2014ish when we first started seeing the J-10Bs. The wikipedia number for J-10As of 240 seems more believable.

His habit was to be more rigorous, requiring clear evidence rather than hearsay in his statistics.
=================================
Your post reminded me of something...
@Deino Did you forget something? LOL

No. Please tell us.

This kind of fun needs you to find it yourself.

Special note:
The word “YANTU” in the photo is the photographer's watermark and does not reflect the actual situation. Please be careful to distinguish between the two. He is a very famous military photographer in China, and all of his photos have this watermark.

I guess you're referring to the 'E' [export] variant of the Pakistani version

Colour maybe? PAF ones are white body PLAAF are grey.

It may be Uzbekistan. Some military enthusiasts on Weibo said that this order was signed at last year's Zhuhai Airshow and has nothing to do with the India Pakistan air battle. Uzbekistan has sent military personnel to China to fly the JL10 trainer aircraft

I hope Pakistan goes for the twin canted tail version of the JL-15. Good prep for the J-35A. The visuals of the PAF operating both, could make the JL-15 look even more attractive to other potential operators (such as possibly Iran).
