This doesn't smell right. Just a hunch, but who's the original source and who are re-posting it?
Yes, it is exactly why I thought it was made up when I first saw it. But @萌虎鲸 and @拓跋尊 as well as @Quardo30Mbps are all re-posting it and iirc OP is the original source of this J-10 picture.

Just notice he shot another JF-17 as well.

check your math, J-20 serials start at 00xx, so it would be 10220 not 11220. and if China does indeed open a second production line for J-20 then they can easily hit 09220.
I have corrected myself in the thread above. But it is still not going to be 09220 if they are continuing on previous numerical system.

Since it ,y question towards your post is not strictly related to the J-20 I copied it into this one:

1. I'm actually not sure if the re-post by "@萌虎鲸 and @拓跋尊 as well as @Quardo30Mbps" can be rated in fact a proof for being true! I don't want to downrate them, but maybe it is just a repost to get more replies and as such more information.

2. where is this tail shorter on this JF-17?

Can you please explain this a bit more in detail since I see no smaller/shorter tail.

Hi

What are the definitive sources for PLA(AF) watching from the sinospeaking sphere and are there any links to their weibo or other socmed?

Rumor is that they are waiting for 2D TVC. Apparently 3D TVC will require significant changes to the rear layout.
How could 3D nozzles be implemented in a way that minimise the drawbacks wrt stealth and IR? In what aspect of the J-20's expected role set would 3D nozzles be generally more advantageous over 2D nozzles (beyond presumable minor advantages in WVR combat)?
