J21? Official source or just fan speculation?

By chinese fans, anyway J-21 is just a temporary name before releasing official name.

May be is J310~~~beacuse it is not pay by PLA~~~~So may be this can not occupy official nember~~~

I thought they would have done the same "streap-tease-like" J-20. This sudden leak make me feel nervous.
Where have the pictures been taken?

May be is Shenyang~~~~~

I think it is J-31 not J-310 (if this thing is real).

In CJDBY someone say ~~310 is nember in AIVC~~~~

Nice! It looks real enough, but we really want a few more shots just to be sure.

Shame about the black camo tho. I guess they are trying to emulate the J20, but I feel a gull grey scheme would have made the bird look far more striking.

Also interesting to note the radome, looks like this puppy is packing a radar! Either this isn't the first prototype and they managed to keep this project under wraps far better than the J20, or this is a publicity stunt by SAC whereby they are painting on a radome with no radar inside, or it's a very good PS/CGI.

Exciting times nevertheless, looking forward to seeing more pictures and getting a better idea of what is going on here.

Re: China J-21 Thread I

31001? J-31? The eagle emblem on tail seems Pratt & Withney emblem...

Is this even reliable? Would this be another fake CGI? I mean we have certainly see our share of it in the past.
