PLA next/6th generation fighter thread

ITS HAPPENING!!!

Are those engine exhausts on the wingtips or am I tripping?

The chase airplane looks more likely a yellow J-10 to me. Now there is the video clearly showing a J-20.

Indeed a J-20S.

Standing ovation everyone. At around 16:00 CST, December 26th, 2024, the Chengdu Aircraft Corp. of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China takes the crown for the first-ever flight of a 6th generation technology demonstrator publically.

IT IS F UGLY!!!

Like mig-31 and su-34, it has a pair of double-wheel landing gears ?
Not sure if it has three engines, but definitely its MTOW would be more than 45 tons
