Guys ... can we stay on topic and most of all leave out all personnel rants?

According to gongke and some other insiders, the design goal of J-20's empty weight is "heavier than F-22 and lighter than Su-27".

And only until the 6th protype J-20 achieved its design goal of being lighter than Su-27.

It seems that it is a mistake from the PLAAF intel that they get the wrong info about the empty weight of F-22, which is much heavier than their initial assements (partly due to poor stealth performance of F-22 which force LM using much thicker stealth coating to achieve its RCS goal).

From all the informations gathered from various reputatable military insiders in China, J-20's empty weight is less than Su-27 and much less than F-22.

Thats quite an achievement of the team of J-20, especially considering the fact J-20 is bigly yuge fighter and even more bigly than F-22 in size.

J 20 use more composite material and 3D printing technology, so its lighter than F 22. F22 is the product of early 1990s. with WS15 coming into play, J 20 will outgun F 22 for sure.
