Tailless design is not such a big deal that it can not be in service in tiny drone form before huge fighter jets are in service. Its just a less explored form of airframe design. Infact, i think it makes sense that China likely developed the drones first, fine tuned how the control system of these tailless designs work in smaller and cheaper form factor and then went ahead to build the big fighter jets.Then going by this logic, the 6th gen CCA displayed would already be in service!

Just call them CCAs.
The "6th gen" part is redundant.
Tailless designs might not be that big of a deal, but supersonic tailless is. I can't think of any supersonic tailless aircraft flown to date. And at the very least, judging by their shapes the high end tailless CCAs are supersonic too, possibly even supercruising.
Jesus christ. Imagine the Japanese military and political leaders looking at this after signing their surrender. They mjst have thought " Holy fuck, Thank GOD for the atomic bombs , else we would have been completely wiped out and the whole country reduced to rubble". Lol. Seems like the US was just getting started with them. Crazy times that era.
Are you really saying these words on this forum, of all places?
Mediocre article, it's just platform to showcase Deino's twitters now (and other familiar names)...
The cope was until recently in the articles themselves.
The article is full of cope. The cope is its likely prototype, not in service. The copes in comments are also about its not going to be produced in numbers soon and also the usual cope of CCP showing fake stuff to make Taiwanese lose will to fight.

Those would be accompanying 5th gen J-20 and J-35.
These are probably what the J-20S twin seater is for. Well at least one part of that network includes the J-20S.
