I'm seeing this news being discussed in hush hush manner in Chinese military watcher circles. Here's someone bringing it up under Xi Yazhou's bilibili channel under completely unrelated video today.

A wall climber has already spotted the bird firsthand. Engine trolls could go choke on some durian husks pretty soon. ;)

p.s. I haven't been this excited since December 2011.
p.s.s. Looks like I'll be changing my avatar pretty soon too. Fastest I've changed my avatar.

Do we think the WS-15 roll out for J-20, both the flight test and eventual roll out, will be TVC? Was that ever confirmed beyond doubt?

Confirmed to be TVC. What is left to be seen is whether it is 3D TVC ala J-10B TVC or flat nozzles like those on the Raptor. Unfortunately, those who have seen the bird/pictures aren’t saying more.

Weren’t the recent rumours 2D TVC with flat nozzles (whereas the raptor is 1D TVC and flat nozzles)?

According to QBU191 on Weibo, Chairman Do went to Chengdu today.If this is true,then this is a real solid evidence that J20 is now in its final mode. By the way,anyone got a new picture of he engine? Many people said that they have seen the picture,but I literally can't find it anywhere
