Laughing is supposed to be healthy ... but here I'm not really sure if there is a limit.

Explained by Indian Express says it all

 

[Trailer23]

...someone outta ask The Indian Express what their definition is of 'combat proven'.

I'm just saying 'cause I was under the illusion it meant Air-to-Air (too).

I suppose if we're setting the bar by The Indian Express standards, then the JF-17 is combat proven too.

As it seems, a new image was posted showing the second J-20A prototype number ‚2052‘ fitted with two WS-15 engines. If legit (and IMO it is), it is the so far clearest image of the WS-15‘s nozzles

so far no, but J-35 has an export version, J-35 is more compact and "user-friendly" than J-20

initial version's max thrust is around 15t... it is a break through to China's turbofan tech, but surely only 17T or over can satisfy fans of the virtual world````

You should be thankful they didn't compared it with Mig21
