It has been 11 years since the first J31 flew. The progress has been very slow, China only has 3 prototypes. Not sure the real reason for the delay?
If it’s nearly the same size as the F-22, any indication it (or a follow on version) will be redesigned to use the WS-15? Especially in the A2A role, it would be much better engine.

Painted ones.
Are they still in prototype testing stage, or set for mass production?
Prototype testing, but they are already training for carrier ops.

Which one ?It’s said that J35 already has its first customer
In fact I'm still sceptical ... I have seen the first such images showing two "whatever" in November/December and I cannot think that we've missed the maiden flight of two more prototypes + their transfer to the naval test & training base at Huaingdicun.
Do you see any visible differences on this prototype versus the yellow one we saw a while ago?
