The article sounds legit.
It covers a lot of internal technology which a fanboy wouldn't be able to write.
The interesting part is the nozzle - it has 16 nozzle panels instead of 18 on WS-10A. A lot of people thought J-20 flew with AL-31F because the nozzle had 16 panels. If this article is true, then J-20 flew with WS-10B and that will make a lot of people happy.

I don't know if my data is right, but ain't a bit low??? Aprox thurst from wikipedia:
Plane..................F-22 (2x)...F-35(1x) J-20 (2x)
Dry thrust...........104,5........125.........86???
Afterburner.........155,7........191.........138¿??¿
That doesn't seem right

Ohh thanks, that makes more sense but also makes a big IF ...
would be cool if they got something comparable with the powerplant of the F-35 x2!!!!!!!.... but that's a long shot
