looks like a compact version of SD-10A or maybe a totally new missile for J-20's internal weapons bay!

Anybody remember that news a full mock up model of J-20 was sent to Beijing 207th Institute? I was curious to why they would sent the thing to a test facility operated by China's space program (aviation/space are separate in China). It turns out 207th has the most advanced anechoic chambers as well as outdoor radar testing facilities in China. The place specializes in developing radar profile of weapons in China, epecially surface-to-air missiles.

It seems they were pleasantly surprised by the results, as mentioned by pupu.

Either a WS-10X or a prototype of WS-15.

yes till its own get mature dear

We now have dozen of different J-20 prototypes, only the very first one appeared in December 2010 used the Russian engine so far.

But it was not 117S, but AL-31M2.

Indeed. Having to manufacture an engine for a 5th generation plane is going to be a challenge.

It was once a challenge for us, but not anymore.
