Waiting for these photographs is like waiting for a hamburger at Hell's Kitchen. No joke ever intended.

Anyone notice that's a new HUD? Will it be on the 11th we see something notable?

The shape of the canards MIGHT have changed (will need a better angle).
Yes, they look different... but to admit I have that bad feeling that the next 5 days until January 11 will be looooong and hard
Watch. We won't get anything until Feb. (I just probably jinxed it...)
Why until February ?? I thought that on January 11 the Chinese Winter/New Holyday begin ..
By the way even if not exactly the same angle of view I think the canards are still the same and it seems as if it stil has a '2002'-like pitot !

Why? Because sometimes these things just hate us. Also CNY starts on the 1/31 this year.
I was actually looking for that exact image to compare the geometry of the canards. Looks like it's just the angle.
Ohhh come one !!!
Wow. Massive trolling. Also it almost seems like the tails really are smaller...
Here are the aircraft People's Daily Online lists list:
US F-22 Raptor Fighter
US F-35 Lightning II Fighter/Bomber
Chinese J-20 Fighter
Chinese J-31 Fighter/Bomber
Russian T-50 Fighter
Korean K-FX Fighter
I thought it interesting that People's Daily online would list these particular aircraft.
No mention of the Japanese ATD-X effort which is scheduled to make a first flight in 2014, seven years ahead of the projected Korean effort.
Here's a pic of the Japanese ATD-X mockup:
As to the ones that People's Daily Online did list, the current numbers of those actually produced are as follows:
US F-22: 195
US F-35: 100
CH J-20: 003
CH J-31: 001
RU T-50: 005
RK K-FX: 000
As with the current naval technololgy and vessels coming out, over the next few years we are going to be treated to some unbelievable occurrances in fighter aircraft too.
