Historic footage finally revealed via official channel.

When was the designation "J-20" first officially revealed? And when did official sources start to acknowledge the 5th-gen fighter? (I can see a crowd of onlookers in that video but was J-20 even publicly acknowledged that early?).

According to Meng Orca, the 29-ton dividing line on the J-20 landing gear may represent the difference between the stealth configuration and the external loadout weight, which means that the J-20's empty weight is around 18 tons.
