zur Zahl der Maschinen gibt es diverse Spekulationen bei den "China-Watchers" in den diversen Foren, z.B.

Anyway, most of the pictures here are of the new J-10 regiment of the 3rd Division. Please note 3rd Division pilot jacket badge has changed to one with a J-10 silhouette.

It appears there are 24 pilots, indicating a regiment size of 24 planes. Note G suit pants, which we see a lot more with recent PLAAF pictures than a decade ago.

One of the pictures here is actually a 44th Division J-10, along with a J-11 of possibly, the 1st or 2nd Division. The plane seems to show modifications of later J-10 batches than those of J-10s that appeared with the 44th before. This includes the uplink on the back.

Looks like a maintenance crew of four per plane, less than the 7 or 8 assigned to a J-11/Su-27/30.

I must be going blind here, because the number on that J-10 looks to be 80754

Yes I thought so too, though I thought the "8" is an optical illusion where "5" should be the real number. First digit 5 and fourth digit 5 - 11 would be 44 or 44th division.

I am personally surprised at the high serial number of 74. The reasons for this is, assuming that each regiment has an average of 24 planes---

130th Regiment should be counted from 01 to 24. We have seen only one J-10 picture from this, with serial 50150 or plane No. 10.

131th Regiment would be 25 to 49. Almost all pics of the 44th's J-10s are of this regiment but were all taken in 2004 before the numbering system were revised. (41X5X). Should be 5025X to 5045X.

132nd Regiment would be 50 to 74. Funny that this regiment is number 132, since Chengdu AC is Factory no. 132 in PLA terms.

So I really don't know what is happening on the 44th, or to what matter are they reorganized. Hard to believe they would have 70+ J-10s alone in one division and all three regiments are equipped with it.

Die J-10 hat wohl definitv keinen Fanghaken, allerdings geistern inzwischen Computer-Bilder durchs Netz, die der J-10 ein zweites Triebwerk gönnen und in Zusammenhang mit Spekulationen zu einer Trägervariante gezeigt werden
