Unless there are glaring issues with the manufacturing process, can you actually tell build quality from photos? Like I could understand if some screws were missing and you had like one inch panel gaps or something along those lines, but how much can really be learned from this type of photo analysis?

Unlike last year which the J-20AS is painted in yellow, this time it was spotted in PLAAF colours.

Perhaps J-20AS is almost ready to enter service with the PLAAF?

We know both in grey since some long time ... this one is from December 2121

You mean December 2021.

Also that means my sources have been woefully outdated.

So any idea when J-20AS would be put into active service?
