The 1st Chinese Air Force Air Brigade, based in Anshan, 170 km from the border with North Korea, reportedly received their first J-20. This would be the second front-line unit, and the 4th operational unit, to acquire this aircraft.

The bloody PLAAF will always try to hide and try play low profile whatever they can especially with domestic engine used fighter...

All it takes was one article criticize them to force them to used Y-20 to do the airlift for Wuhan.

China has produced significant numbers of strategic Y-20 transport aircraft, bragging about the leap forward they offer to China’s ability to deploy at home and abroad, yet these have so far been notably absent from relief efforts.

Lol @ thinking some article in some no-name Western rag forced the PLAAF's hand. Or, you know, they might have gone into action when the President ordered them to

Would you rather the military just did whatever it felt like?

But the date of the article and the almost immediate response of CPC to use Y-20 and mobilise large PLA can't rule out the fact, CPC is stung by these article to response.

A J-20 with WS-10 in grey will indeed be a very pleasant surprise!

New engine. Your wish come true.

I haven't read up on the J20 program in a while.

is that a pair of rail launched IR missiles hanging from the side bay?
Interesting, any idea why this was done? Is it not possible to launch these missiles uncaged? Or does it take too long to open the side bay doors? Does this mean the aircraft is limited to two PL10s?

Sorry if this was already discussed.

No, these are all old images and all are using the old engine.

No problem; I only wanted to point out that these are not new ones and esp. not ones with the WS-10C ...

Bro those are obviously AL-31's! The Taihangs have a substantially different nozzle arrangements ...
