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

Based on current production trajectories, China will eventually operate as many J-20s as India had Mig-21s, so there’s that.

I was being sarcastic too. Not about J-20 beating Mig-21 in total number though.

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````

WS-10C reportedly has 14.5 tons of thrust. If WS-15 only had 15 tons, then they wouldn't have to start over with the design around 2006.

One may reach maturity level, while the other is just beginning its journey with some new technology that is probably different but potentially capable of meeting future requirements.
