Beautiful plane. A match for the Eurocanards

Western high tech air aft has switched to stand off precision weapon or at least weapons with 10-15 mile range from medium level you do not see rockets being used any more which require expensive aircraft getting close to targets only Russian and Chinese still use rockets ??

At least for Chinese, I think the pilots get more practice when using regular rockets ... it forces them to be extremely accurate in their close-altitude attacks. But Western air forces need precision weaponry because of frequent strikes in the Middle East where they cannot "afford" civilian casualties. In the end, simply more practice for the PLAAF or RuAF. Precision weaponry is also quite expensive

Just for training. Pilots cannot improve their skill by pratising throw LGB. Rocket is a cheapter option in daily training. Moreover, they always use Stimulated Bomb and Stimulated Program instead of real LGBs in training. Such videos and images are worse for publicity rather than shooting rockets. However, in reports of important military exercises, J-10 always used LGBs and ARMs.

Fighter rocket hit target on the ground, that harder than launching a laser-guided bomb to hit ... also rocket much cheaper than a precision bomb/missile. A experienced pilot driving the fighter can destroy ground target with rockets, no problem launching a laser-guided bomb to hit it. PLAAF pilots also training precision weapon ground attack, just Chinese military journalists like rocket more than laser-guided bomb, the photo of rocket hit target more challenging.

understandable since so few ways to learn about east asia...
be advised the expenditure of missiles and guided bombs from all kinds of PLAAF & PLAN fire drills each year exceeded those summed up in Europe...
now, there are only THREE countries left on the earth which are capable of conducting a formal strategic level, multi-dimensional military exercise. We talk about each of them with respect...

Interesting. Do You have any more recent information on the current J-10C production? Seems as it has been slowed down a bit but given 2-59 spotted already in late 2016 they must be already producing batch 03 aircraft.

Can't you just copy and paste the file onto PDF? They seem to have a bunch of bandwidth ...
