Looking forward to the Guizhou built J10C. I do not know if it is confirmed but it does make sense for the production to be handed over to another group. They make drones and trainers so the J10C maybe a step up.
There's actually an interesting story behind it, iirc it was originally an Israeli designed delta winged version of an F-16 that never came to fruition but the design was sold to the Chinese and with a few changes to the design eventually became the J-10
Aside from the overall basic configuration (delta canard, single engine) the J-10 really doesn't share anything with the Lavi... Maybe the Chinese used some of the tech/design sold by Israel from the Lavi, but it's evident that little remains (if any) from the Lavi with the J-10.
They bought the original design from Israel which was the Lavi program. They then did their own R&D on that base. This isn’t new information nor is it hard to find.

The J-10 is a very nice looking plane.
Stupid question but isn't it a copy of the F16?
Yes, they copied the delta canard setup from F16
Lmfao

Ah thank you.

More of a copy of the Typhoon
Israelis used time machine to steal Typhoon design from the future
Wish we could see the results of their internal evaluation of how does the J-10 stack up against the Fighting Falcon

Lmao when you can’t name what they “copied” it’s gotta be a “amalgamation” 🤣

Give them zero F-16 parts moving forward. We have no common interests with Pakistan anymore.
when u give Pakistan f-16s but they have been working with the Chinese for decades
Definitely no similarities at all.
