They used a J-11BS as a chase plane from what I've been reading.

Wow, look at the difference in size!

Apparently the short take-off ability of this plane is one of its strengths.

great pics... can we confirm that is first flight or just high speed run?

From this angle, it looks almost identical to F22

They might as well as paint the word "Carrier" and "Export" on the hull.

To me, it looks more like F-35!

Oh, oh! Here we go!!!

This maiden flight has been highly anticipated for a couple of weeks now.

As usual, I wonder when clearer pics will gradually emerge.

Carrier, for sure! Export, hmmmmmmmmm? Who does China trust that much?

How's that as a question to start a thread?

With which nation will China's establish its first strategic partnership of near-equals, and how will that partnership evolve?
