Very suspicious indeed.
(For context, that's right next to CAC)
It seems like the rain is not heavy. Would a cloudy day be preferred for a supersonic test?
Heard an loud bang in a sunny day somewhere in Shaanxi 100km away from Yanliang. People seemed not bothered. I guess people there were well used to it. We realized that one piece of our window glasses was cracked some days later. Sonic boom sounds just like a bomb goes off unlike most thunders that last longer for seconds.
No, no reason for that.
CAC made an official announcement that it is fighter aircraft test flight. Whether it is J-36 or J-20, who knows…
Checking the news reports in the past, I found there were similar reports in March 2024, September 2022 and more significantly, in November 2015. We know the 2011 prototype flew in March 2014, and the LRIP flew in December 2015. Combining with the 36011 hull no, I'm now more inclined to the idea that this airframe is significantly more mature than a prototype, though suggesting we will see LRIP this year or next year still feels bold for me.
"What kind of maneuver is this? Honestly, I've never seen planes maneuver like that—could it be a filming artifact? It looks like the camera operator is simply following the plane flying straight, and at a certain point it seems to literally turn rather than bank, like a car would."
It’s no maneuver… It’s an optical Illusion die to the movement of the camera
