Hello, is known any ASCC reporting name for chinese airbourne radar?

What will be the NATO reporting name for the J-20?

J-10: Firebird J-20: Firefang.

NATO seems to play up Chinese aviation more than the Chinese do themselves; Chinese aircraft only get designations, not names.

Is Firefang official?? Any source?

Firefang is here but may by fake . Here is codename CLAW for Y-9 but it is not reliable source

So,

J-10 - Firebird
J-20 - Firefang (to be confirmed)

Will the FC-1/JF-17 get a reporting name? It is in-services with the PAF and soon Myanmar AF and few other but off-course NOT in the PLAAF. I propose, ** drum-roll please **

JF-17 Fartbag
