Don’t know how much it is the camera but it seems to turn quickly for an aircraft of its size, especially considering that the banking angle is so low…

Does that look like pilots in tandem configuration?
Single piece canopy as well, the black blobs seems to be the pilots inside and not the bracings.
I do wonder if that was deliberate, in terms of the plane's programming and the configuration of the tailfins. Keeping a more level flight during a turn would help avoid exposing the highly reflective 'flat' of the plane's belly like it would during an aggressive bank.
If you have to do aggressive banking probably the last thing to worry about is
RCS profile lol.
Agreed. However, wouldn't it be used to quickly reposition the aircraft even in BVR situations?
Used differential thrust?
Huh, I wonder if they would integrate differential thrust as part of the flight control system for yaw manipulation, or whether if its a sensible decision to.
No, we’re waiting for better / definitive pictures of J-50 (J-XDS) first, before we admit defeat.
It’s a beautiful day when you’re limited to intra-PLA cope, because no other comparison exists.
