A brief description of Hongdu L-15B light attack aircraft

The Hongdu L-15 Falcon (猎鹰) [Pinyin: liè yīng] is a Chinese supersonic training and light attack aircraft being developed by Nanchang-based Hongdu Aviation Industry Group (HAIG) to fulfill the PLAAF and PLAN lead-in fighter trainer (LIFT) requirements.

The model L-15B is an upgraded attack variant equipped with a pair of Ivchenko Progress AI-222K-25F jet engines with an afterburner, giving it a maximum speed of 1.4 Mach, MTOW (Maximum Take-Off Weight): 11,600 kgs, 9 hardpoints with 11 pylons, 5 IFF antennae, a PESA (passive electronically scanned array) multifunctional radar with a detection range 75 km, and a 360-degree MAW (missile approach warning) system on its vertical tail. Its prototype rolled out in April 2017.

Hongdu have painted 八一 on L15 even for the 1st plane in 2006

Thanks ...
Maybe a stupid question, but how likely is this new L-15B simply the original no. 06 prototype updated with the latest modifications?

Can China produce AL-222K-25F by our own?
 
. . .
JL-10 fighter trainer has been produced more than 100 plane so far (中航工业洪都的明星产品教练10. 已经生产超过100架)


But where are they all assigned to ??
So far we've seen one single aircraft in PLAAF-serials and nothing more ... not even a known unit other than the 172. Brigade and I can't think that this brigade houses 100 JL-10s.

So IMO at least three full units could be expected somewhere out there ...
