If I'm not mistaken, these are the first images of the CAC facility showing everal J-10AS, J-10C and J-20 since years.

I don't think so. The original caption says "bye bye", so I think it is saying goodbye to Russian engines.

Interestingly, the latest reports assume, that these both are fitted with domestically produced engines, and no Russian AL31FNs anymore.
Even if difficult to say, for the J-10C I would agree, it looks indeed like a WS-10.

As usual, first a blurred photo, follow by may be a cartoon drawing, then clearer photo weeks or months later. Will wait for that.

China military watching is patience or frustration but fun to follow and surprise can be pleasant.

yeah, the photo taker suffered a vision seizure suddenly at this critical moment & then recover.

metal shield doesn't appears to be installed for glass protection even it shows two holes like for vision... Or is it to deploy in battle scenario to save Pilot Face in-case of any hit?

Or the that metal shield is suppose to house some extra electronics/optics/queuing system etc?
