There seems to be some argument over the amounts for each type of plane that are currently in service. Could people please post their references either here or add links in the article to state where they got their information? --210.211.83.227 01:25, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] J-10 deployed?

Can anyone confirm that J-10 is deployed? I recall reading that somewhere.

answer" yes according to Kanwa Defence Review

[edit] J-9

shouldn't the J-9 be removed from the list since it is not in service and was cancelled?

J-9, J-10, and J-12 cancelled projects placed in Cancelled Aircraft section. Although they never entered service, I put them there for the curious. -- Adeptitus 17:32, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
