J20 speculation/discussion (read rules first or die)

[Andy_UA]

Any worthwhile analysis on the dog-fighting capability of J-20?

I have posted it in before your post.

An interesting read

interesting indeed, translation is a bit raw, the Chinese author seems to be a fan of the F-22

There was some speculation earlier that the square shaped thing above and between the exhausts could be a drouge shute housing, but I've found a video that discounts this. As you can see, it's open during take off.

Can't find the maritime document so far.

How does that video discount that? At the 3:05 mark it deploys the chute. Duh

. Found this on YT of the Yf23 .. the rear section is very similar that copied by the Chinese for the J20 though the nozzles do differ
