How do they know? Was it low frequency? Did it have a luneburg lens or external fuel tanks?

At least I found the video:

... and if I'm not mistaken, they do not mention a specific unit which gained or will gain the J-20?

Deino

PS: but they included two MiG-29 flying at 0:26 !

The 9th.

Thanks ... but is the 9th directly mentioned or is this what others say based on reports?

There's some internet hearsay that by the end of May 2018 the J-20s were arriving with the 9th Air Brigade based in Wuhu, Shanghai. But no doubt that Eastern Theatre Command then Southern Theatre Command will get priority to house the new arrivals of J-20s due to their strategic values.

From the ever reliable Chinese Twitter blogger for the good source of Chinese military updates, however brief they are, Dafeng Cao (30 Dec in ASIA):

“Time to say goodbye with these old fellows.”

In the next line he hinted that the older fellows, Su-30 ==> J-20 @9th Air Brigade, as suggested by Cirr and Deino here just very recently. Some nice pics :-}
