China's Latest J-20 Fighter Variant makes Maiden Flight

While the "photo" shown at the first link below appears to be totally bogus (I have seen no other sources that show a forward-swept wing on the J-20 up to now, and no one makes a maiden flight with wall-to-wall external stores) the article does claim that a newer version of this recent-generation stealth entry by China has gotten airborne.

The second link, I suspect based on the same news release, probably has a more accurate photo.
