Wait a minute, is this the zig zag engine cover and part of a engine nozzle on the lower right corner? Is this a old fc-31 or new “next gen fighter” we are all expected?
Mmm, don't get your hopes up too high, some people are saying it's 31003 again but with modifications
HMmmm
Yeah it does look like a ws-13/rd-93 with that burnt iron look

The first flight of any aircraft in 2021 or the first flight of a new aircraft that happens to be in 2021?
Key distinction.
First flight of any aircraft in 2021. If it weren't for the image of a FC-31 prototype no one would even bother talking about it.

That doesn't make sense, because the first 2021 flight by SAC took place on January 14 - give or take 1 day - with a J-16.
Hmm the plot thickens.

Maybe it is indeed the "first maiden flight" of 2021.
