Chongqing gets attacked by aliens. J-20s turn into transformers. Actually more like Macross. Need I say more?

Omg was that amatuer?? not too shabby if it was (though the cgi at the beginning with the people on the hill was a bit meh)

And KJ-2000 doesn't rotate, and apparently J-20s are still equipped with air data sensors instead of fire control

Apparently the aliens like Terran ravens.

And just for the record I didn't expect the J-20 to transform. Sigh that kinda ruins it >_>

J-20 is still under power,right? Or probably WS-10G manage to up thrust to really 15,000kg class...

Yes, the fact that there are pilots in them make them more like macross I always thought pheonix is more serious than this...

Larger versions of the photos that johnqh posted:




It is pretty evident that the J-20 was in a high G turn. Also appears that the LERX could produce some pretty nice vortices.

This is crazy!

First, thanks to 撅撅 on cjdby for the photos.

Now, look at the canards, they are tilted downwards when the fighter is pulling a tight turn. Some people mentioned it when the video came out earlier today, and that was difficult to tell on the low-res video. However, the photos are clear.

Now some one go overthere to ARES and tell Bill and that ausairpower guy that this thing is pretty manueveable. as it is.

I recommend Deino. He has an account on ARES and seems to be on pretty good terms with Sweetman.

I also get the feeling that the anti-F-35 gang is gonna have a field day with this...
