Thats a good point.

The trend could be TVC for minor maneuvering and flush/concealable control surfaces for extensive/high-G maneuvers.
Possible video of J-20 doing Falling Leaf
With the video quality, hard to tell if it's just a slowed-down video of a RC plane.
However, since it took us two months to notice the first clear image of J-20A (#2052) posted publically, I though I post this link just in case....

Thanks Blitzo.
How do we know that is a launch of a PL-15 based on the video content?
There's nothing about the trajectory of the missile in the video clip that we see, which can allow us to confidently differentiate between it possibly being a PL-15 versus PL-10 launch from the cockpit perspective.
If it's based on the missile/contrail marginally climbing slightly in altitude, that imo is very indecisive and can be consistent with a PL-10 launch as well.
Or is it just based on the comment below the video, in which case I would ask whether their comment (regardless of own background credibility) is reflective of just watching the video themself or if they know first hand from inside sources that this was a PL-15 launch.
That's a J-20A-MEWowAssuming again, the picture is real, looks like this is the first photo of a J-20A with external loads and the first photo ever with a PL-17 (?) AAM.
