J-16 (AESA) – 20?
J-10B – (PESA, will be upgraded to the 10C AESA) – ???
J-10C – (AESA) – 50?

Not sure about the actual numbers. Maybe 20+ J-16, 100+ J-10B/10C (maybe closing in on 150). Again, I am not sure about the numbers. Best if you check with Deino.

I’ve read that J-16 is something like over 30 in total as of very late last year, and J-10B and J-10C combined was something like 120 (so about 60 each)

I think one regiment’s worth of J-16 has been “in service” for at least a year, with second batch production occurring over the last few months/to now probably. All J-10Bs I imagine should have been in service starting from 2015 to 2016, and J-10Cs entering service probably from late 2016 to now.

Ignore list is made for situations like this.

Too true. But sometimes my morbid curiosity gets the better of me. My own fault, in this case.

1. it matters what color the art is because it means other people acknowledge it is dark green too
2. real photos were posted above you, but if you can’t see that, then i’m not surprised you can’t see the actual color either. don’t blame us because you’re one of those guys who sees the dress as white and gold when everyone is telling you it is blue

1: drawings based on initial poor quality pictures
2: if these look green to you, then screw it, clearly it’s orange

Its green. It is not us that need to get our eyes checked. Its you.

Plus I posted the model J 20 kit on Amazon that is listed as dark green

This is such a confusing strand of discussion. Whatever. It’s green. It’s orange. It’s purple. Whatever.

durr, of course it is dated dec 2010.
the first J-20 prototype was the dark green one. naturally all the photos of the dark green j-20 will be late 2010-2011

If that image really looks dark green to you I think it may be of interest for you to consult an optometrist or an ophthalmologist.

Yes. But it is somewhat noteworthy. If there was any risk at this level that the plane would be a failure, that won’t have happened yet.

I suppose. But tbh we would’ve known ages ago if it was a failure not to mention recent developments over the last year that have been more indicative.
A quick verbal statement on CCTV about J-20 “entering service” is not that significant in that regard given the accumulation of other events in J-20’s development else over the last few years.

you better tell your boss, Tom, his artwork used the wrong color, unless you think this is not dark green

Artwork dated December 2010.

Are you really basing your belief that you think J-20 is coloured dark green based off artwork made of J-20 back when we didn’t even have clear pictures of it? Or is this some kind of roundabout way of saying that Tom Cooper’s initial J-20 art had an incorrect colour?

More importantly, why is Tom Cooper’s art from December 2010 even relevant considering all the clear pictures we’ve had of the various J-20 prototypes and LRIP aircraft over the past 6+ years. Does Tom Cooper’s art of J-20 made when we had no clear pictures of it, take precedence over every other picture we’ve had of it?

… and if it is based on the twin-seater J-15S (similar to the J-16D) or if it will be a single seater!?

Well if it’s called J-15D and if it’s similar to J-16D in the same way, and considering its supposed intended role… well I strongly doubt it would be a single seater.

In other words a J-15 growler. Imagine how difficult it would be to develop modern EW/ECM aircraft that a single person can operate.

So based on the J-15S, that should be a no brainer. I’d be sooooo surprised if it was a single seater, unless the aircraft ends up being different to what we all envision for it.
