I'm sure that new variants are already under development
I specifically am asking about the 190 kN AB thrust for this model we've seen today, which is what horobeyo on twitter wrote and which you stated as being the case.

I think WS-15 has been in development for long time, so I believe quite mature already, I am expecting in 2024 (?)
My bigger question is whether the existing J-20 can be fitted with WS-15
According to Orca entering service by 2025. There is also a meme in the military watch circles that J-20 production line is shutting down — to be superceded by J-20A production.
I see, 2025 really is the key year for the China-US struggle since many projects are expected to hit their major milestones that year from what I read on this forum.
That fits my observation too ... not a real shutting down but holding the level of production

Does it mean that there won't be any J-20 produced with WS-10x engine? ... or still continue ?
I don't see why there would be any reason to continue producing an inferior model once WS-15 enters service.
