Those are some strong (outer) hardpoints!
I think we've seen this specific pictures before, have we not? I recall those from 2020.
(And of course there are other pictures of the 201X prototypes carrying four EFTs from like the mid 2010s)
With WS-10? I only remember ones with AL-31.
Tbh I’ve lost interest in this model.

Hello, I am wondering when did the J-20 begin to participate in Red Sword exercises? Some I spoke to said 2017, one said 2016. This interview gives some indication but isn’t so specific
Really? I think it’s just getting even more interesting…
By the way, a friend asked for help …
Thanks my friendThere are rumors that the Orange Force, which simulated third party intrusion force, in Red Sword 2018 marked the first J-20 participation. I don't think there is official confirmation of it however. The first official participation was in Red Sword 2019, during which Yankeesama stated the J-20 not only performed very well but also participated in live fire exercise, shooting down a target drone.
2016 is nonsense since J-20 hasn't even entered service. 2017 is highly unlikely because it had just entered service back then and pilots need a year to acquaint with the aircraft before participating in large scale aerial combat exercise.
