No, the engine should be WS-10C with serrated nozzles.
OK.
I thought WS-10C had more numerous serrations. This seemed quite spaced apart.
Must curb my enthusiasm.
But wait ... Well J-20 no. 78031 - aka aircraft no. 01 from the 172nd Air Brigade - is yet another so far previously not known J-20 and as it seems it is a J-20A with WS-10C. Look at the serrated nozzle.
This is interesting, since all known J-20s within that unit have 7823x numbers.
As such it seems as if this unit's first dadui is also under conversion from since no. 78031 was a Su-30MKK.

This is scaring me. How many WS-10C birds have they actually inducted???
p.s. huitong thinks that the 78031 is actually in Cangzhou. This makes sense since the first black nozzle bird we saw in active service, 78034, was also from Cangzhou. This means that all birds with the 7803x designation use domestic engines.

Exactly ... and it also means that the Su-30MKKs from Cangzhou are being phased out!
