J-20 photos: Fake alert or real thing?

My friend Bill Sweetman has forgotten more about military aviation than is Google-able, and he accepts new images of the J-20 -- apparently snapped from the fenceline at the surprisingly accessible Chengdu aircraft factory -- as factual reality. He might be right.

But I'm still skeptical.

It's that inexplicably over-sized red star -- which, to my eyes, resembles the roundel of the Russian Air Force more than the People's Liberation Army Air Force, although is representative of neither --  that has my senses on full "fake alert".

Judge for yourself.
