Assuming four variants of the J-20 actually exists, I assume it's:

J-20 - original J-20s produced with AL-31s
J-20A - WS-10C equipped with upgraded avionics (likely what consists of most of the current J-20 fleet and has been produced the last few years)
J-20B - new single-seat with dark coat and hump
J-20S - new two-seater version with dark coat and hump

I'm not sure where the J-20B designation originated from. Having watched the entire programme and reviewed the official promotional materials, only the J-20A and J-20S variants were mentioned.

View attachment 159853
I watched the parade in English on CGTN, and they distinctly spoke of the J-20, the J-20A and the J-20S.

There was no mention whatsoever of a J-20B.

I don't understand, are you saying you think it is official because it "looks official"?

Has it actually been provided from an official source??
Nope I'm confused as well. We've had rumors of a 4th J-20 variant and this infographic just happens to align with it. Hence the "?"
