So what about this photo of J10 ? It was fake ?
I think the implication of this image was that the J-10 used a thrust-vectoring variant of WS-15.

Not sure if J-10's engine is also Taihang ...
Pay attention to the level of detail the author has provided, in particular the color of the insides of the WS-XX nozzle. This isn't the same engine as the vanilla WS-10X we saw on #2102 a few months ago.

Oops, I meant 2021.
Never mind, but You are correct with the details. Seems as if it has some sort of ceramic layer.
These are our prototype birds; the one closest to camera is No. 2015.
also note the red star on the tail, which only the prototypes have

Part optical illusion, part angle but I just can't believe how large that bird is. I think the relative size of the canopy throws it off a lot. It's fairly small and the line is not seamless with the fuselage.J-20 receiving ground support, with all bays open. Both units appear to be LRIP birds.

LOL, I meant prototype but typed LRIP.
