J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread V

[Blitzo]

If there are 3 more J20s this soon, it would mean that 2017 wasn't the last prototype, it's the first LRIP bird!

That would explain all the bigwig fanfare surrounding its first flight.

But let's not get too excited until we see actual pictures of these other 3 new J20s.

Over on CDF, I think it's been translated as saying that 2018 and 2019 are additional test birds, because the Air Force wants to receive J-20 next year and those two additional prototypes will help to achieve tetst and certification... meaning 2101 may be the first LRIP bird.

Anyway ... my Christmas-wish for tomorrow would simply be these three birds side by side and 2101 in yellow primer ! ... nothing more.

Come on CAC .... it's Christmas-time.

You're hilarious with your wishes of yellow primer shots!!!

If there is a 2101, then it seems to me that it would have to be the first LRIP. And 2018/2019 are prototypes. It's a big jump to get J-20 into production and they might be building extra prototypes to speed up the flight testing.

There is a good chance you will see the birds, but I personally sent a message to CAC that the serials must be PSed off.....

Henri K. is reporting that 2019 and 2021 will soon begin taxi runs at factory #132. It seems that 2018 hasn't been confirmed to exist, but rather implied.

Does that mean PLAAF will get this aircraft a year earlier than suggested six years ago by general what's his name?

it's really not henri k, but rather a Chinese bbs poster that wrote this.
