Interesting is also that there is yet another J-20A out with a slightly modified "Raptor-scheme".

Spotted this one via dafeng cao's retweet:

For anyone wanting to estimate J-20 length using the new top view J-20/J-16 picture... Remember to use the right one!

A FANBOY DREAM THAT CAME TRUE
(though it does take some efforts to separate the wheat from the chaff! - samsara)

"I recall this drawing coming out around 2006/7 -- a decade ago, when J-10A was still new in service and the idea of a Chinese stealth fighter was considered a fanboy dream (still is by some folks).

Amazing how much it got right." ~ Rick Joe‏ @RickJoe_PLART 2017-11-11

Appreciating that there is a dedicated J-20 News Thread, i think it is definitely needed.
As looking at experiences from other forums, seems that if the 'NEWS Thread' is mixed with 'Discussion Thread' then the unrelated content, mostly unprofessional and meaningless arguing/racist/attacks, would easily be introduced...

Maybe making it a 'NEWS' dedicated thread would help? Members can always publish/query/interact based on the PHYSICAL INFORMATION about J-20 news, which is no difference from what the thread is now.

Investigations and other activities based on personal implications can be underneath another thread if necessary, but it always kill the post and keeps readers confused if mixed with NEWS together...

Thanks for the higher-res footage. Here's the tweet on a part of the same CCTV-7 video (shorter clip at lower-res).

Over 6 months old

So it was in fact take at around the same time like this?

But did we have any conclusion on what this no. 15 means? is it J-20A LRIP no. 15 or no. 15 at all?? ... and what's now the number we know?
