A huge moment for the PLAAF. Not only the J-20 but the J-10C has also gone full WS-10 (2nd batch of J-20 and 4th batch of J-10B/C).

It seems they are now entering service. 1st image of an alleged production version was seen in February 2019.

1st prototype had flown in  December 2015. Here are some older photos of the prototypes,

AFAIK, there is no official information on the systems in the J-16D as well as the naval J-15D. There is some 3rd party speculation but that's about it.
