J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread VIII

Well, it's a new iteration of the WS-10C, of course it wouldn't look identical with the WS-10C.

It's not WS-15.

alone nozzle cannot define, it's a new iteration of the WS-10C.

nozzle close to WS-15 in design rather than WS-10C. looks like little modified. which is very much possible since WS-15 still in testing/modification stage.

so its 50/50

i think we have to wait for HD footage.

It is very likely that it is similar to the WS-10 nozzle on later J-16 batches (EJ-200 style) except jagged.

J-20s with J-16/35A/20A/S:


I heard the J-20A is getting a RAM coating upgrade also (which is no surprise tbh)

clearly new skin of J-20A..

Darker camo for J-20A? Probably using new RAM.

I don’t think anyone can identify or even differ between a regular J-20, a J-20A or even a S.

no, we already know prototype no. 2057 in grey, so the question is: is this a Production one or still a prototype?

Huitong thinks this is evidence of J-20A entering limited service:

It is. 9th got it again. Both times they get to be guinea pigs for variant with non-target engine…

I recall the LRIP J-20s also had a darker skin at the start and skin became lighter as they left that stage.

Would be interesting to have a return to darkness on the 20A/S, more intimidating for sure
