J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread VI

Anyone wanna bet on when we'll see the first WS-10 production plane? I think around October 1st.

That's a safe bet. I'm expecting other military surprises on October 1st as well. The H-20 Stealth bomber being the big one.

This guy (in responding to a similar question of J-20 numbers) claimed that there were 20 of them as of March 2018.

Website doesn't load for me but the url is telling that the article is from Summer 2017... and no way there were over 20 J-20s in 2017.

13 is a strong estimate Sir, anything else at this point is conjecture. Some such as Mr. Blitzo believe there are a few more? there may be, but there is little evidence to substantiate that?

There was never a pause. But production rates haven't grown much.

We got no rumors that Dingxin/Cangzhou received J-20 with domestic engines, so I do not believe we will see J20 with WS-10 at the parade this year. I would be satisfied if they reveal any new serials...

I don't think the stealth bomber would be revealed any time soon. WS-10 equipped J-20 ? Probably. Stealth UAVs ? Probably. But the H-20 reveal would mean giving the adversaries time for ample research and one-uppance. Some unofficial behind the fog, by the dawn,very blurry, "leaks" after a month or two is more probable. Also, the political environment isn't nice. You really don't want to rile up China hawks that are popping up like mushrooms after monsoon these days.
