I suspect that report jumped the gun and got it wrong.

This is the Izd 30’s nozzle.

It doesn’t have the two section nozzle flap design that the engine you shared has, and if you look at the flap control components they don’t look identical to the image you shared either.

The one on the plane, for comparison.

He is saying that the engine on 052 is the same in the report (picture below). However the A9 ring (Y shaped bars) are not mounted. So the test on 052 is not for TVC yet, but for IR reduction. You can find more details as why he think so in the link (Chinese). This is a very techy person with unusual sharp eyes for details, according to my observation of his posts.

Btw pretty sure that’s not the Idz 30, but a different nozzle. The Idz 30 is manufactured by Saturn, and the engine in the pic is supposedly a Salut design. It might have been Salut’s submission for the PAKFA engine that got rejected.

Came across to a new photo of the new "Izdeliye 30" in the reported Salyut plant. It is the same engine from a different angle. See the banner in front of it. It is Saturn.

I don't know what happened to the report (Salyut plant). Anyways, I think we are looking at Izdeliye 30

The Chinese Air Force launches one of the most important exercises of the year, the Red Arrow 2018. The sources indicate that besides the traditional Red and Blue armies (OPFOR), there would be a 3rd army called Orange
