Nice representation of a J-20 twin-seater ... but does this image and video have any meaning or is it just some fan-art?

So it is true?? I only read some forums where they claim it would be AVIC's or even the official CAC account showing this video for the 10th anniversary of the J-20.

@航空工业 from Weixin is AVIC's official account.

• Chinese engineers directed to modify the WS-25 engine until it matches America’s F-22 Raptor, says insider
• The pandemic and other issues have caused delays, with warning that China risks falling behind in long-term aircraft development

China will cease using the Russian engine currently fitted on China’s new generation
J-20 stealth fighter jet
, replacing it with an upgraded home-grown engine.

A military insider told the South China Morning PostChinese aircraft engineers found their domestically built WS-10C, the modified version of the WS-10 engine, to be as good as the
Russian AL-31F engines
.
“It’s impossible for China to rely on the Russian engine, because Russia asked China to purchase more Su-35 fighter jets in exchange for the AL-31F engine deals,” the insider, who requested anonymity, said.

“The key problem is – except for its longer combat range advantage – the radar, navigation system and other electronic components on the Su-35s are inferior to Chinese aircraft like the J-16 strike fighter.”

The song "Covering the sky" praises the 10th anniversary of the maiden flight of the J-20!


From Henri Kenhmann at East Pendulum on 2021.01.09:

In a video published yesterday by AVIC on its Weixin account, to celebrate the 10 years of J-20 test flight, the two-seater version appeared for the 1st time as a synthetic image.

The technological demonstrator of the J-20 (2001) made its maiden flight on 2011-01-11.

A new slightly clearer image of the J-20's cockpit was posted based again on an enhanced reflection in the pilot's visor showing what appears to show a large touchscreen panoramic cockpit display (PCD) & a smaller LCD set below.
