But that's my concern ... this video is not from this alleged "new" unit - by their serial 78272 from the well known unit - and also the others are from the parade and from Zhuhai...
So are these "merely" J-20As from the well known unit temporarily assigned to on operational mission at Wuhu?
What is the improvement of J-20A compared to the J-20?
20, 20, 20, 20, ....
...No.... looks like no 20..... SORRY.

@Deino In this video, one of the J20s is shown taxiing with its canards in the vertical position. The tails of the J20 are also moveable in such a way along with the canards that they can be used as air breaks.
Airbrake and speedbrake are used interchangeably, but the preferred is 'speedbrake'.@Deino In this video, one of the J20s is shown taxiing with its canards in the vertical position. The tails of the J20 are also moveable in such a way along with the canards that they can be used as air breaks.
I'm curious to know if these control surfaces would be used as airbreaks for short landing(if necessary)?
Also with the addition of the WS15 engine(when it's ready) and along with its control surfaces serving as massive air brakes...is it possible that the J20 can have a STOL(Short Take Off and Landing) capability?
The F-16 has three WOW switches -- one per gear -- and there is a logic to this.The Squat Switch (also called Weight on Wheels Switch, or WoW) is mounted on the telescoping landing gear by two attach points.
The Squat Switch actually activates/deactivates the Touchdown Relay. The landing gear, certain avionics, and many accessories are all wired through the Touchdown Relay. The idea, obviously, is to prevent inappropriate systems from functioning when not in a safe condition to do so.

More rumors about initial exercises of J-20 from reputable members in fyjs, this time J-20 is not equiped with lens so the RCS is not comprised:

Rough translation:
1 J20 vs 4 J-10 in dog-fight, the J-20 leave the rear end to 4 J-10s, but climb suddenly with afterburn, all J-10 lost tracks, the J-20 have not release any countermeasures at all.
2 J20 vs defence array consist of C300/HQ-16A SAM and KJ500 AWACS and several J-10, the first J-20 take down KJ500, the second J-20 take out all SAM batteries, then they finish the mission and leave, neither J-10 nor KJ-500 have any response during the exerise, the senior engineers of the AESA radar developer for KJ-500 is very impressed about J-20's performance.
2 J20 vs 4 J-10 and KJ500 as well as a electronic warfare plane, J-20 climb to 15,000 meter ceil, locate the KJ-500 and the EW plane, rush down to finish them and then take out the 4 J-10s, the whole fight last for 46 mins.
2 J20 vs 4 J-10 and KJ500 as well as a ground radar station, same story, the J-20s climb to high ceil and take out KJ-500, then finish off the J-10s, the whole combat last for 32 mins.
Like some senior scientist in China claimed once: stealth fighter is the nuke weapon in our time.
So basically China needs a new radar to detect stealth fighter. Because in a fight against F-22, KJ-500 is impotent. I don't know about F-35, as it has less stealth feature. But at the same time, most of AEWAC in the world also impotent to stealth fighter.
My take is these exericses have not involved ground anti-stealth radar array yet
They use SAM system like C-300 and HQ-16A SAM, so they use ground radar array too. But maybe not the anti stealth radar. But what is Chinese ground anti stealth radar array? And what about KJ-500? Is it not an anti stealth AWAC?
China have developed several models of anti-stealth radar, but my take is they can somehow locate the rough region where the stealth fighter could be, but dont have the accuracy required to guide missiles there, so you can regard such radar as early warning radar.
Such radar usually are tool large to put on airborne platform.
And do you see what funny with the exercise? Those Senior Engineers who develop KJ-500 are there. It just like a harsh reality that act as an eye opener to them
