Perhaps, but that depends on their mission, as far as payloads, and their roles are limited as far as different kinds of missions. They still can't transport troops on the ground.

While people suggest that J-20 is shorter than T-50, I say that the J-20's back is really really long!

J-20 flight test on July 21 2012

[QUOTE=no_name;197177]J-20 flight test on July 2

Great pix no name, and it looks like the forward gear doors are open with the gear down and locked? just as it was with 2001, but it seemed they were initially closed on 2002s first flights? Thanks to our faithfull photogs, and their little tea parties, and also to the PLAAF, we were really beginning to go into withdrawal, I believe you should start a public PR campaign, those F-60 fellows could get ahead of us J-20 fans, in fact I am rather liking the looks of the Rap/Dragon!

Sorry guys, I can't resist, but I really am glad to see our girl back out front, and yes I have missed her in all her "airworthiness", remember guys a bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush. Brat Out!

Judging by the Star position, the first photo is that of the 2001. The sixth photo looks to be that of the 2001 too.

The pitot is another tell.

Someone should upload one of the J-20 pictures like picture in post #3700 as the main picture of the J-20 article on Wikipedia. Kind of surprised that the main picture on Wikipedia is still an "artistic impression".

Every so often someone does upload a real image. But if you look at the page's "talk" section, you'll see they keep taking them down for some licensing reasons.

The picture used has to be considered public domain, does sinodef. counts?
