Do we know if Changchun Airshow on this year?
I have a question regarding Air to Air missiles.
Given the same general volume, how much different would the range be between a Ram Jet assisted missile vs. a solid rocket missile?
Also, are there any updates on PLAAF efforts to create a ram jet A2A missile?

Any idea what‘s this? At first sight I thought a blurry clip showing the J-36 but sometimes it looks as if it has a tail!
Zoomed in on the screenshot:
That aircraft definitely isn't the J-XDS, given how the tail section widens outward towards the rear end of the aircraft.
In fact, I haven't seen any Chinese aircraft flying with such design before. Though it does look to be echoing the Dark Sword UCAV...

Maybe retractable canards?
Could be, if this is indeed the Dark Sword or its related/further derivatives.

Strange ... since allegedly take in the "North" it would fit to SAC! So maybe the other part from the tea-cup/tea-plate couple?
By the way, any idea what's this at Jining AB? My guess would be a firefighter mock-up!
