High speed taxi test.

How do we know it is not another Y-20 prototype?

That's a strange looking tone...

I believe Y-20 project receive the highest priority in PLAAF, even higher than J-20. Y-20 might enter service very soon.

Yes, ... even stranger than that "ugly" Russian brownish-purple-grey on the Su-34 "Hellducks" !

We don't. But since the serial number is 20001, we can assume it's still the same prototype.
