Title: Photo: Chinese F-22, the J-21/F60 reveals itself

First high resolution photo of the Shenyang J-21/J-31/F60 shows its possibly powered by two Klimov RD-33 engines. A twin-wheel nose landing gear suggests possible carrier-borne operations. Wing also spots a F-16 style trailing edge flaperon.

Interesting markings. I haven't seen Chinese military using anything like those before. Are we sure that isn't Korean?
