Re: New Generation Fighter

Maybe the fact that it is not deleted, even though it's unclear, points to a flanker plane, whereas the deleted one may be something.

Re: New Generation Fighter

I say it's just a flanker.

NO ... the rear section is different - not as high - ... the low-set air intakes are missing and that typical Flankerish large front section (albeit here quite invisible).

I don't know what it is ... but IMO not a J-11.

Whilst I am extremely cynical about this picture I have to agree with Deino's analysis, what is shown in the picture is certainly not a Flanker.

I think it's PSed (of some J-11/Su-27). The nose slants down like that of J-11. I also observed suspicious circular smudge around the vertical stabilizer area when I tilt my screen up.

Wow, thats amazing, today is the first ever day that it has been foggy in Chengdu...truly astonishing.

Hey, I don't see any effort by you to figure out whether it is real or not...

IMO, CONFIRMED PHOTOSHOP

First, the aircraft doesn't appear to be in primer.

Second, the vertical stabilizer has definitely been photoshopped, there is a blurry box surrounding the second half of the plane and as mentioned before, a definite swirl above the vertical stabilizer.

I brought it into PS and enhanced it so you can easily see that the photo was tampered with.

Re: New Generation Fighter

The leaked Pic is highly likely to be the photo of the real thing.

The pic is leaked by a highly trusted source, the source is the first one who leak J-10b's photo.

And on 22/12 there are more than one eye witness of this fighter, some of them are highly-trusted ones, they also confirmed the side-view of the fighters (shape/color etc).

As for the shape of the aircraft, note the light can do wonders and due to the light there is some distortation about the fighter, the real thing looks "thicker" than it is looked like in this pic.

As for the real fighter, the shape of vectical tails looks like the one installed F-117, the fighter looks very flat from the lower end (like F-22), has DSI-like air-intake, arranged in a similiar way as in-between of F-35 and that latest French fighter Raflae or something (sorry, dont bother to find the spelling of it).

The front view of it looks somehow like a F-22, but the side view make it look a little bit like a F-23, of cause, the most important part, the top view is still remained unknown.

Adding to what you said one of the eyewitnesses stated that plane also featured canards and they can move independently of one another. Strangely it had pectoral fins and hardpoints as well. I would guess that the hardpoints are used to carry fuel tanks?
