Looks real to me. But Id keep in mind from J-20 / J-35 development that the PLA is willing to build out prototypes closeish to final design very early on and test/tweak them as they go. J-20 even now isnt completely finalized to the requirements they initially sought out, J-20A will be that. Not to mention its gonna be a while before they have the ACE engines they want as well.


Remember that we are on the cusp of an EMD contract for full scale development. ATF flyoff with YF-22 and YF-23 was BEFORE EMD. In the end its gonna be close as to whose will enter service first, but ours will be complete/finalized when it does, theirs very likely wont be.
