Impossible someone here knows and will tell you. Only lies and talking rubbish when it comes to sensitive questions.

Air battles are no more one on one battle.

Nope ... just the closed nozzle.

Sorry, that's wrong. look carefully. It's silver short nozzle and not burn out bluish petal of AL-31FN engine.

Honestly, I have to agree with you that the colour is a bit unusual, but the shape of the exhaust simply does not fit. Also, we know the 131st Brigade has that type since some type with most of its aircraft known, all are AL-31FN powered and we know that the first WS-10B powered ones were just flown only recently.

Just look here....

Who know they swap out the life expanded AL-31FN engine with domestic engine recently?

So the big problem at least Rumored was as usual 300 or hour life or about 2-3 years before overhaul needed vs russian needing after 800-1000 (~7-10 years ) hours

Is that still the case with ws-10 ?

And then, why does J-10C still choose to give up Russian engine?

I think these statistics are almost a decade old ...

China shows the model of J-10CE at Dubai Airshow-2019. And the mass-production version of J-10C equipped with WS-10 engine has came out.

IMO, China is looking for buyers for J-10CE.
