Oh. I see, it looked like it could be the PL-16 at least.
Isn't the PL-16 not in service already then? I think it is.
Actually I wasn't sure, just heard noise a few months back about it possibly being deployed on the J-35s.
Didnt they PLA already stop the production of non-export PL-15 in favour of PL-16?
To me, the J-20 always looked like a stealth interceptor, and if the WS-19 engines really give up to 180 KN on afterburner, then the J-20 is exactly that - a stealth interceptor.
Fly faster and higher, engage your target before your opponent does, launch rockets and get away.

Wow, an AL-31F bird?
They will be the first brigade to get J-20A. Old birds are probably gonna get swapped out.
