There are new and better pictures of the new Chinese fighter available.
At first sight it looks like a mix of F-22 and PAK-FA (T-50).

Not so stealthy in the engine department. Those turkey feathers definitely are not low RCS.

Don't forget that the first YF-22 prototype first flew in what.....1990?? It's taken nearly 20 years to bring it operational.....
