Hmmm .... however from the last images it looks more like a mock-up ??!

No longer any doubts ... but still the question: Is there a PLAAF-requirement for that version ?

No

 

[Deino]

No

But why does it show the PLAAF symbol already, while other JL-10 in grey behind do not ?

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.

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?

It is a reasonable guess.

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 ...
