How could we missed this ?

Apperently, the J-8II was planned way before 2017.

"Китайская команда разрабатывает истребитель J-8II. В будущем команда хочет стать официальным сторонним разработчиком DCS."

"The Chinese team is developing the J-8II fighter. In the future, the team wants to become the official third-party developer of DCS."

OK, let's search their comments more thoroughly and see if we missed anything else. Have they said anything about their 3rd module yet.

If Deka has been working on the j-8ii since approximately 2017, then one can speculate this upcoming module will be detailed.

Maybe not so long.

They used to be working on many projects, mainly modeling works and some technical reserve. The early process was disrupted by a severe model stealing incident in which most of those WIP models were stolen for illegal sales. Those models are mostly obsoleted and their present works are nearly started all over again.

We don't know when they decided to make a J-8II but at least no earlier than 2020.

In early 2020 they were still discussing about the selection of the next module. They said several planes, selected according to their internal preference, were submitted to ED for investigating the legality or arrangement conflict, and only after that could they start the document works. At that time their estimation was the 2nd module would start after the jeff was roughly completed. This sounds consistent with what is happening now.
