A hopefully useful comparison of the three main variant of the J-10B (Batch 01) and J-10C (Batch 02 to Batch 05). (Image via @资格雪人晒太阳 and @白龙_龙腾四海 from Weibo)

Well done!

Weight-wise IMO yes, but is there a 250kg-JDAM in PLAAF service?

Maybe. They try to market this FT-6 glide bomb weight 250kg.

what is the price !?

Among Iranian member ,Im the one who want to have at least 200 fighter in J17 or J10 class , but others want su-30 0r su-35 ,

IMO , J10 is good options for us if we can co produce it with China in numbers

J10CE aka FC20 probably costs US$25 million per unit, could save cost on the domestic WS10 engine compared to having to buy AL31F engines from Russia in J10A. However, J10CE combat radius is suitable for defenses while Su30/35 are better for offensive roles. In terms of RCS and avionics, probably J10CE better

Well , there is some difference between opinion among Iranians in web which probably reflect our decision maker thought ....

People like me believe we should replace our dead air force with new simple cost effective fighter which can secure our sky against our not friendly neighbor ... For this purpose I suggest to try to buy and co produce cheap fighters like mig-35 , j10c , j17 and then try too acuire 5th fighter ... In general , I suggest we act like Pakistan to have an effective domestic air force ....

Other opinion is we have should buy Su35 , su30 or even j11 and then buy pakfa or j31 , or j20 too have an air force with strike capabilities ....
