When Blitzko mentioned there were 1 or 2 English-language PLA watchers that could be trusted, I assume he meant Deino, Henri K, Siegecrossbow?It wasn't me but Henri K. again!

Well, basically it's everything everyone in this thread already knows.
Introduction into the 5th generation, short J-20 test history, description and explanations. +some bashing of key myths.
One or two minor mistakes here and there, but arguably quality of this review is higher than of many distinguished $$ western articles in printed sources. Even more remarkable for YouTube. On the other hand, nothing too deep either, just well known facts available in English and nothing beyond.
Overall, a very well balanced review, doing a god job dispelling many common myths and misconceptions.
Deino is German, Henri K French, Siege? Not sure.
If Blitzo did indeed mean that, that sounds rather incestuously self-referential from a SDF a point of view. But I'll let him speak for himself.
Only those identified for sure ..

My Weibo account was suspended simply because I was having too much fun and digging too deep into the truth....

Lol chrysanthemum is slang for asshole in Chinese. Guess that works here as well.
Has there been any indication as to if there will be a twin seated version of the J20? I know it’s been talked about on and off for awhile now, but by now you would think there would be more evidence if they are in fact goi g to do a twin seated version.
Actually if you happen to read Chinese language military blogs, that's how folks label aircraft engines...

Yes I know, and I’m sure they are doing it on purpose because the engine nozzles resemble both the flower and an asshole. Fun little play on words.
