Not with such high speed on that turn.
Why for higher thrust engine needed if such move can be execute by AL-31F?
The turn execute by J-11BS is slower compare to J-20.
Your comparison is way off: First this particular J-11BS is exactly flying the type of engine You are erroneously claiming to power the J-20. So if the J-20 should be powered by the WS-10, then the Flanker which is for sure using a WS-10 should do this as well.
Second, we know manoeuvres from the Flankers using exactly the same type of engine You hate so much, namely the AL-31F which is IMO used by the J-20, that make all spectators hold their breaths ... as such, there is no need to use a higher thrust engine.
Third, therefore - and that's why such airshow demonstration videos are simply not suitable: they show aircraft in not the same conditions, You don't know the intention ... We don't know the particular weight of both aircraft. Were they fully fuelled or only loaded for a demo?
In consequence, You are claiming this particular J-11BS is using a weaker engine and therefore the J-20 has to have a higher thrust one ... the funny thing is only that exactly Your example Flanker is using exactly the engine You claim to power the J-20.
