These are just fan made CADs based on one single outline of an aircraft teased by LM. This CAD design would never fly; the engine intakes are kind of concaved to boundary layer won't let sufficient air enter the engine and this kind of small engines mounted far back on the top of wing would completely cut-off air supply to the engine as soon as the aircraft makes even the slightest of maneuver.
You are joking right?
If they're releasing it to public knowledge then it means it's already old according to their R&D standards. Also there have been couple of leaks since past couple of years; like using F-117s as aggressors and the leaked image of Northrop Grumman hanger.
isn't rudram NGARM?
Next Generation Anti-Radiation Missile was the program to develop a...well NGARM missile. And Rudram was a program to develop air launched ballistic missile. At some point they decided to make an anti-radiation variant of Rudram too, so now they went back in time and renamed NGRAM as Rudram-I and Rudram as Rudram-II. Also there's plans for Rudram-III missile which has nothing to do with anti-radiation.
Clear as mud? Good

Well, it's still a step up from penetration-cum-blast and bund bustind device.

The thumb rule as far as US R&D is : if they are talking publicly about it, then that 'it' is already in service and the future replacement is being developed

Its a pretty good thumb rule

Even that seems hard for now bhaiya 200+ j20s soon uavs already flying from male to hale platform having there own engine platform yea yea it might not be good or whatever but it's something we will need to speed up to catch up
That 200 plus quote was pulled from the same place as Iran's stealth fighter and Quantum processor claims.

The PLA's actual strength is very opaque

Ok that's something positive but they still have 4.8-4.9-5th gen whatever people wanna call it plane while amca is stuck in ccs rn would have been so good if airforce agreed to navy joining amca program maybe they could have put some sense in gov and airforce and made the project go ahead full speed
