My bad, that is the J-10 prototype that flew back in 1998.

The yellow skinned one is the J-10A.

BTW, it is fugly compared to J-10B.

Yep, i guess i may be way too snob when i see the new plane.

Well, the old J-10 is also a true hero of our air force.

Notice the nose cone. Its pretty much the same as the one we see on today's J-10b. This further shows that the change in the nose from J-10A to J-10b is due to the change in the air intake design and not due to the radar (which is the reason regularly given here for the nose change).
