Re: New Generation Fighter
I think RAM stands for RAM coating used on F-117. Based on what I have read, many Chinese still believe that US bombed Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia in 1999 intentionally because they suspected Chinese had kept some downed F-117 wreckage there.

Lol yeah, it's supposed to show the Su-47 comparing with the supposed J-XX picture thereby implying the latter was photoshopped...

I doubt that photo taken through the trees is ps (if it is, it's not completely a Su-47 because the tail is different, the vertical stabilizers are at a different angle).

Re: New Generation Fighter
Um I have to go with Mack8's answer. I highly doubt RAM stands for a specific coating but rather types of materials which are good at absorbing a range of frequencies but not good at the rest. This is the fact why the F-117 was actually detected in 1999 and hence got taken down.
As to whether US bombed the Chinese embassy intentionally, does it matter? All US needed was an excuse and China couldn't possibly do much to the US as a response. If China tries to argue and states that F-117 was in the basement of the building which resulted the bombing, then US could simply ask why is it in the basement in the first place? Most importantly, at that time China was still too immature in terms of influential power, economic power and military power. So challenging the US was not a rational response at that point in time. Anyways I've talked too much off topic stuff so lets get back to our topic.

Re: New Generation Fighter
Either we are really seeing the first photos of the J-XX/J-20, or we are seeing a higher degree of sophistication from Chinese fanboys....
New fanboy strategy (?):
1. Don't post clear photo(s),
2. Block out clear photo and explain the censorship on patriotism,
3. Remove claim photo quickly before anyone can see and claim conspiracy, and
4. Claim large number of eyewitness and let the rumor propagate itself.
So far, it seems more likely that all these are just hoax to me. Quite disappointing really since I've been looking forward to seeing photo the new fighter jet. Well, I guess everyone can only wait; no point in believing a grainy and blurry photo until there is a sharper and clearer photo to back it up.

Hot DAYUM.... I wonder if this seals the deal... I almost completely take back my previous scepticism and I'm almost convinced this thing is real now.
