If we step back to 2013/2014 timeframe, nobody would've believed J-20 would beat Su-57 into service either.

But the material science and precision manufacturing advancement in China has accelerated beyond anyone's expectations

And sadly in western narrative it was due to theft and espionage, nothing creative and R & D about it
$1.6B fund really enough to pay medias. Less and less people believe in western medias ... including Trump

Will be so funny if they buy the J-35.

Seems there is a still partially wrapped J-20S scale model at the AVIC booth in the indoor exhibition hall of the Zhuhai Airshow.

Could this be a hint that the PLAAF rates the twin-seater no longer that secret and it will appear at the Zhuhai Airshow?

Looks like a PAF J-35 in the background also? (behind the PLA one)

A new type of medium-long range AAM with foldable fins that can be carried inside the internal weapon bays of fighters seen at Zhuhai.

Could this actually be the PL-16?

Wait - Apparently this missile isn't PL-16? Might just be one PL-15 variant instead?
