Yeah looks like 9x12 which is 108
…You mean bleed air?
It could be considered bleed air, although this is usually directed somewhere else internally like to start another engine or whatever. The raw volume of bleed air needed to be used for control of aircraft maneuvers in VTOL modes is considerably larger, and to vent sufficient amounts to reduce losses in exhaust velocity in dry thrust conditions is also quite a large amount.

Not really, for almost every engine there are multiple sources of bleed air that are used for both powerplant purposes and airframe.
I’ve yet to see anything that can bleed sufficient bypass air to relieve the core from having to accelerate all of that subsonic air through the exhaust.
Bypass air isn’t bled, nor is it directly reintroduced to bypass routing unless it’s air already used for cooling or accessory function.
What “relieving” would the core need?
Bypass air is subsonic and must be accelerated in the exhaust when mixing with the accelerated hot core airflow. Super cruise top speed is generally a function of exhaust velocity and thus excess bypass air is detrimental towards super cruise capability.
Of course, some bypass air is beneficial for cooling and efficiency, as well as after burning thrust. So the solution between conventional designs like the F119 and full variable cycle engines is a simpler variable bypass. The F-135 has major bypass ducts for the VTOL stabilization system. It has quite a lot of innovations that expand the performance envelope in spite of a much larger bypass than the F119.
China does not have an in-service engine with any kind of variable bypass, it is estimated they are just now achieving similar technology in turbofans as the F119.

According to the description on the display panel, this pylon can also be externally mounted on the external hardpoints of the fighter aircraft.
are these rack intended for LS-6 50kg version?
it was showcased a long time ago idk if there is a glider version, the likes of SDB, Stormbreaker SDB II and SPICE 250
I came across this while searching for other things, no idea where its from or how reliable it is tho

Must be a very recent one, since supersonic cruise (WS-15?) and J-20S is mentioned.
Although 17t weight, use of PL-12 and WS6 are seen for the same time.
This was a presentation given a few years ago (around 2022, I think?) by a commercial organization in Chengdu in an unofficial setting, so it’s generally considered unreliable.

Can someone verify, this looks like a brand new missile, definitely looks like sth different from PL-10/15. 【独家】新家伙们来了：攻击-11飞行画面首曝！歼-20实射某型空空导弹！空对空拍摄歼-35A……中国空军成立76周年微电影重磅发布 建议逐帧观看！| 军迷天下21:30
