I just read some rumors about a hand-over this afternoon and more reports are popping up with the same theme !!
:”The history has turned a new page!!!The dreamed, anticipated & long-awaited day has arrived.”
It is rumored that LRIP J-20s have finally been delivered to PLAAF Flight Test & Training Base today !!!
Still awaiting confirmation and esp. images …

by the way with now 3 of the 4 contenders unveiled … any idea, when Boeing-Saab will give us a first glimpse of their proposal ?
I think they are both junk. The J 20 looks like an oversized F 35 with canards.
Ohhh, listen … another eyeball-expert has spoken !
Hey … I received a fine review for my latest book on my latest book “Flashpoint China” in “The Journal of JAPCC”, Ed. 22, Spring/Summer 2016

one more …
More LRIP J-20As …
…All 4 for China;
…
Thanks again !
In other news;
… we will hand over ten Su-35, four aircraft to foreign customers, …..
….
Thanks for Your update again ! Really appreciated !
By the way and even if off-topic … these “four aircraft to foreign customers” are for China or for Indonesia ?
Thanks in advance,
Deino
…
C-2 first mass-production unit.
…
Thanks … but already serial production after or with only two prototypes ???
Again two interesting news !
1. The second FC-31 prototype was spotted on its way to Xi’an …
2. Probably the first J-20A for the PLAAF spotted at CAC.
Deino
Old but anyway nice …
Three interesting news …
1. Reportedly 4 J-20s spotted today at CAC and in mind of the 95th anniversary of the CCP’s foundation today, maybe a hint for the first J-20 handed over to the PLAAF ???
2. Also reported, the first prototype J-15X equipped for catapult launch has made its maiden flight a few days ago … here it is !
3. And … the FADEC equipped WS-13E / WS-13IPE had its first 7-minute flight test on board of the FC-31 demonstrator ‘31001’ today.
Deino
Now both together …
By the way is there at least any news about any of the fighter projects lately ???
Some rumours about the second FC-31 … now nothing !? 😡
Some images about the first LRIP-J-20A …. then nothing (and now since more than 6 months) !? 😡
Usually nice but censored images of J-10B and C …. now nothing !? 😡
Do I need to worry ? … or are they planning for a certain event like that surprising service introduction of the two Y-20s some day later this year … maybe for August 1st ??
