A bad translation...
He just said that in 2027, the number of J-20 would be in the same order of magnitude as that of F-22 anyway.
It only means that the number of J-20 will increase from dozens now to hundreds in 2027, and there is nothing new.

How long do we need to wait until we'll see them in PLAAf grey?

Little translation of LKJ86's post upstairs.

"In this year military news, everyone is mainly talking about Y-20 changing engines with WS-20. Not much was mention regarding our best fighter jet J-20 mainly due to no new information was revealed.

But there will actually be a big news regarding a major upgrade/improved version of J-20 soon. I believe a lot of people will be drunk happy on the date when the news is revealed. The pictures are old pictures from 2019 air force exhibition."

I do hope he is right and something really worth celebrating is revealed soon.

I would already be "drunk happy on the date when the news is revealed" when I see a WS-10C powered one in PLAAF grey with serial numbers of a new unit?

From Henri Kenhmann at East Pendulum on 2020.11.21:

A J-20 landed with a lateral missile side extended. We also notice that this device did not wear its Lüneburg lens as for the others. The context of all this remains to be defined.

Probably came back from a military exercise in which it had to leverage the stealth advantage.
