isn't this J-10B?

It is more advanced than the J-10B, either the J-10B+ or J-10C.

PLA's J-10C may be able to match US and EU counterparts
The J-10C — the upgrade version of China's J-10 fighter designed by the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group — may be able to catch up with the American F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and surpass most of its European counterparts, according to the Beijing-based Sina Military Network.

China is still unable to fully compete against the United States, Russia and France in developing 4.5-generation fighters, but the advanced fighters are important for the People's Liberation Army Air Force and Navy Air Force to fill the gap before fifth-generation stealth fighters — such as the J-20 and J-31 — are ready to enter service.

Many of China's neighbors have equipped their military forces with 4.5-fighters since 2005 when the Republic of Korea Air Force received its first 60 F-15K Slam Eagle. Singapore began to receive F-15SG Strike Eagles in 2008, while Australia got its F/A-18E/F in 2009. India and Malaysia have also purchased the Russian-built Su-30MKI and Su-30MKM. Since 2012, Russia has also deployed Su-30SM and Su-35s to the Chinese border.

if J10C is in testing what does that mean for B? Are they mass producing it?

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

What new 'C' variant have?

The new WS-10B engine, the new AESA radar, and more advanced composite materials.

Maybe also with the improved DSI design?

The production line for the J-10B has been halted, now it is all about the J-10C.

 

[Deino]

No it is indeed the new J-10C we've seen making its maiden flight a few weeks ago !

Congratulations to China

It looks more like a shark than J-15 - the Flying Sharks on Liaoning

 

[Muhammad Omar]

isn't this J-10B?

It is J-10C which has all the stuffs of a 5th gen fighter barring stealth and supersonic cruise。

J-10B is a failure. It suffer a premature death even before it can gained operational. Fortunately, PLAAF top brass is smart to quickly stop this J-10B and go for better 100% made in China J-10C series fighter.

This claimed j10c photo looks fake. Look carefully the photo seems to be cropped and edited out of rafale. The bottom rear part is quite flat and wide as if it has 2 engines. The area where air intakes supposed to be was cropped away.

J10b is not failure. Just that ws10b engine is underway, the j10b fitted with new engine will eventually renamed j10c.

The golden tinted canopy looks really nice.

The paint scheme suggest, it could be clear for production and operation soon.

This engine is definitely earlier than the engine used by the J-20.

Since the specs of the J-20 engine hasn't been revealed yet.

It is J-10C which has all the stuffs of a 5th gen fighter barring stealth and supersonic cruise。

It can supercruise. With 14000KN Thrust, it can match Typhoon and Rafale as truly 4.5th fighter.

One thing for sure, it will not go operation with a foreign engine. PLAAF top brass has make it very clear. For those scum bag hanjian general who advocate continue using AL-31 engine shall be shot. The PLAAF needs to take bold decision and not afraid to lose a few planes and pilots to allow Taihang engine to flourish in PLAAF.
