Yeah J-10 has different versions.

J-7 is one generation.
J-8 is another generation higher.
J-9 (cancelled)
J-10 is the highest generation of Chinese fighter jet equivalent to Su-27 and F-16's.

On top of basic J-10 version, the PLA develops/improves different other version, J-10 army version, J-10 navy version, single-engined, single seat, twin-engined, twin-seats, etc.

J-11 is the home made Su-27 series.

J-12 is the version to match JSF, F/A-22.

J-13, J-14 are all under concept design.

Since Chinese normally keeps their progress in secret, when you hear or see the jets flying then it is already under development for at least 10 years, like J-10.

Nice is the drawing earlier the basis for the j-12 or just the twin engined j-10

That picture is just an illustration of the J-10 twin-engine model.
Edited: Oh I see, u refer to the middle picture, yes that is the J-12 (J-10A).



Info of J-12 is not officially published, therefore some ones call it J-10A too.

These 2 pictures are "claimed" to be the J-12 twin engine versions:

Yeah you know...Intresting thing....The Lavi also was supposed to have a twin engine version..Im sure its nothing....

looks nice.

What happened to the XXJ?
It was supposed to be the F-22 equivalent.

XXJ or JXX means nothing than J-12, J-13, J-14.
The xx mean a number 12/13/14/15.

They are now all concepts or in initial design/development phase, long way to go.
