AF Brat simply meant that China is more strict on showing their birds during development. That is it. Has nothing to do with how successful the development actually is.

Exactly what I meant, the PAK-FA is an aircraft that the Russians are co-developing with the Indians, it may be sold to other interested parties, the J-20 is very unlikely to be exported, and president Xi has almost shut down new pictures and videos from the wall climbers, and has limited any official pictures or videos.
If you go back and read my posts you will see that I have predicted that the J-20 is or soon will be in LRIP, it is much further along than PAK-FA. In fact the Russians really have a "state run" advertising agency, and many of the Russians "technical journals" read more like add copy. In any respect I think the J-20 has made good progress in spite of a major upgrade/redesign of certain elements after 2001 and 2002, the Russians??? not so much?????
