And again another brigade confirmed, this time a J-10A was spotted with the number 63577, which corresponds to the 26th Brigade aka former 26th AR, 9th Division.

PS ... again, on the J-10C production, which is IMO one of the biggest mysteries. Given we've seen J-10C 2-54 in January 2016 already they MUST be withing Batch 03 already, but we have not seen any one confirmed by now.

Anything different about the engine

Most likely the same WS-10X type we saw in the first drawing?? Or not??

I think that was the whole point of the drawing ... looks like either J-10C or (most likely) J-10D equipped with sawtooth WS-10X TVC nozzles ...

Yes, it is. And the printer fixed his picture base on the suggestion from Zhongnanhaibaobiao (the photographer who always stay around CAC). Below is the new picture:

... and a huge twin front landing gear????

It is just an old J-10B. They use it to test their new engine.

This should be the TVC on J-10B:

Due to the now privacy policy, these photographers have to learn drawing. Maybe we will get a picture after firstfly.
