WOW! The Chief Designer himself handed over the bouquet to the testing pilot of the J-10 upon the successful maiden flight! What a big honor! No wonder the pilot's eyes were filled up with his falling tears. So touching those very sentimental pictures, they were telling a lot beyond words the great challenges, difficulties, pressures… and eventually the great delights, reliefs and great satisfaction upon completing the flight trial successfully… in 1998
Just for clarification, the 3rd-gen and 3.5 generation that you mentioned here are according to the Chinese standard or int'l standard? Cuz the 4th-gen of China (the J-20) equals to the 5th-gen of int'l standard.In PLAAF, J-10A, J-10S, J-11A, J-11B, J-11BS, Su-27SK, Su-27UBK, Su-30MKK are 3-generation fighter aircrafts, while J-10B, J-10C, J-16, and Su-35SK are 3.5-generation fighter aircrafts.
That is the main difference between J-10A and J-10C.
