At least the alleged images seem to be consistent with one another that is, one engine appearing different to the other with different exhaust colour, and all are on the right side of the aircraft.Hmmm??
I just put together all images which were so far allegedly "related" to this new engine - maybe WS-15 - but then the shorter (right/top) engine should be the WS-15 and not the left/lower one.
Do we know more?

Would need to see the inside/afterburner of the engine to be sure... they can try different nozzles solutions for stealth, ir suppression, thrust vectoring and so on. Quite hard to be 100% sure that's a new engine and not a modification.Hmmm??

Somebody said it is not WS-15, There are new WS-10 variants with TVC more like the kinds we had seen in J-10B.Hmmm??

TVC flight control development and testing. That said, the different flame /afterburner color is a very big tell that they may be two different engines, and one of them (left) looks like it’s a WS-10.Why would they test WS-10 with only one side?
