So WS 19 engine is in mass production. So now I can safely say Pakistan for sure as hell is getting J 35 then anyone expected. Timeline for me changes, it's now end of 2025 and start of 2026, in fact Pakistan may ask for one or two prototypes like final fully completed prototype with WS 19 to evaluate it inside Pakistan

Does that mean JF17 Block III are equipped is WS21? and J35 will come with WS19?

AEF1200 engine, First large bypass ratio twin-rotor turbofan engine, has 32 blades.WS-20 aka AEF-1300 has 22 blades

Correction, “WS-” stands for a military engine and “AEF-” stands for a civilian engine. It's not just a name change, there are some subtle differences, but they're not very different.

The AEF-1300, originally named “CJ-1000A”, is a civilian derivative of the WS-20.

That's an interesting looking rocket there. If I'm reading it right, looks like the export version of the YJ-21, i.e., a hypersonic ASBM. It looks like it's been qualified (or will be) for air-launch too? @JamD @farooqbhai @Sparten @Oscar @Bilal

But with F-22A fighters??? ... isn't this just a generic stealth bomber or is H-20 directly mentioned or a "Chinese bomber"!?

Video: H20 with J35 on one side, B21 with F22/F35 on the other side

Pardon, maybe I'm not yet awake, but where do you see a J-35? All I see is twice the same generic bomber and - look at the tails - F-22A fighters!

They surely know what a huge response this video will arouse before releasing it.

Don't get me wrong - especially since I see no text or don't understand it maybe correctly - but I see nothing that hints/says this to be a H-20 even more so with clearly not J-35A fighters around.

Looks almost more as if some "what-if" B-21 + F-22 are attacking something ...

注意这三架的发动机尾喷口收敛片细节不同，不清楚是不是都是WS-21发动机
Note that the details of the engine tail nozzle convergence pieces of these three aircraft are different. It is not clear whether they are all WS-21 engines.

WS 19 was designed specifically for J 35 to be more precise a 5th Generation fighter jet. No clue what equips our latest Block III

Yes, you're right. Upon closer inspection, it is indeed f22

Has China revealed any new cruise missiles with more then 1500 KM of range.
