We'll ask lulzsecurity to do it for us :p

What is that plane in front of the J-10 in primer on the left? :confused:
I'm not sure if I'm willing to call more than one J-20 yet. I would say to wait for more photos to prove it's not a PS but I have a feeling this picture, if it is real would not have many repeated photo opportunities.

Probably a J-10 variant under a tarp. You can tell that the vertical stabilizer is way too big.

I think the rumour was that there were two 2001 prototypes... It's kind of a given there will be a 2002 prototype, that will be used as the static test rig, as past experience has told us. That second J-20, if that is what we're seeing will probably be the second 2001 prototype rather than 2002 imho. No reason to have a static test rig out there near the airfield.

I have been waiting for this photo. I think it is pretty clear that there is two J-20s, probably three at this point. Now, when you say varient of the J-10, do you mean a new one, or one we already know about? That vertical stabilizer looks a lot wider than any J-10 we have seen before.

It certainly looks like two flying prototypes. But I think we still need more and higher quality pictures before we can be 100% certain.

But this picture certainly would tip the odds of there being two flying prototypes from 'probable' to 'very likely'.

The plane under the tarp is definately not a JL9 tho. Way too big and tall.

My bet is a J10 also.
