J-20 OFFICIAL NAME IS "BLACK EAGLE"

[Akasa]

It has been reported that the J-20's official name is "Black Eagle", while the NATO reporting name is "Firefang"

It got it from Huitong's site, so we aren't sure if it is true

Black eagle??? Too much like black hawk (the same in Chinese any ways). I like the NATO callsign better. Firefang. Evil sounding name.

I prefer "Peregrine Falcon"

But NATO callsigns sometimes are pretty weird. For example, what the heck is a "Fishbed" or a "Flanker" or a "Fishpot" or a "Frogfoot"?

A fishpot is a pot that holds fish.
A frog foot is an animal with the foot of a frog.
A fishbed is set of pebbles that form the floor of an aquarium.
A flanker is someone that flanks.

Flanker is a football term. Frankly it isn't that bad when compared with Fishbed or Fagot.

NATO callsigns for fighters always begin with Fs so Peregrine Falcon probably won't be available.

NATO reporting name for J-10A was "Vanguard"

NATO reporting name for J-10A was "Vanguard"

Pretty sure that was Pakistan's name for J-10A. I'm not even sure that the NATO has a callsign for J-10 yet for some strange reason.
