US also us F-16 to test their TVC. It is only an old J-10B body.

It's not the testing of the aircraft but its TVC-system.
Simply since it is the first time a Chinese TVC-system is tested on a Chinese fighter ... no-one would immediately introduce such a system into service without testing.

That's this year's Xmas gift for you

Do we know what it's for? J-10D or J-20?

From weibo,

2017年12月25下午3时许，某机型试飞成功。点火，滑跑，起飞，降落，表现均良好。真是让人惊喜的圣诞礼物！
December 25, 2017 around 3:00 pm, a certain plane's test flight successful. Ignition, taxing, takeoff, landing, the performance is good. Really amazing Christmas gift!

@Deino will be asking for the real image again.

He has already posted a real image on Twitter.

Also I admit I have limited understanding of these topics. Can you please tell me what importance does a TVC engine have on J10. Which is arguably not a very advanced fighter.

...Which is arguably not a very advanced fighter.

Joke of the day I presume !!

So why did the US tested a F-16 with the AVEN??

You are neither here nor there.

Most of the time you should be seen not heard.

Is it a TVC system? Why they tested it in a single engine fighter? I thought that TVC system is a brand new to China. Shouldn't they think more of the safety by testing it in a 2 engines fighter like Flanker first?

Maybe they still study how to coordinate two TVC engine? It's more convinient to test TVC on a single engine fighter. In case it shows strong confidence CAC has in new engine.

Buss, Buss, I always thought you are impartial and have at least some decent analysis. You reckon LCA is advanced do you?

Buss is apparently an expert in everything from quantum science to engines to economics.
